We present a unified framework for designing polynomial time approximation schemes (PTASs) for “dense” instances of many NP-hard optimization problems, including maximum cut,...
The Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is a canonical NP-complete problem which is known to be MAXSNP hard even on Euclidean metrics (of high dimensions) [40]. In order to circumven...
Shape indexing is a way of making rapid associations between features detected in an image and object models that could have produced them. When model databases are large, the use...
This paper relates the notion of fairness in online routing and load balancing to vector majorization as developed by Hardy, Littlewood, and Polya 9]. We de ne -supermajorization ...
Cycle covering is a well-studied problem in computer science. In this paper, we develop approximation algorithms for variants of cycle covering problems which bound the size and/o...
