Improved Approximation for Guarding Simple Galleries from the Perimeter
We provide an O(log log OPT)-approximation algorithm for the problem of guarding a simple polygon with guards on the perimeter. We first design a polynomial-time algorithm for bui...

An Algorithmic Framework for Motif Discovery Problems in Weighted Sequences
A weighted sequence is a string in which a set of characters may appear at each position with respective probabilities of occurrence. A common task is to locate a given motif in a ...

Minimum-cost coverage of point sets by disks
We consider a class of geometric facility location problems in which the goal is to determine a set X of disks given by their centers (tj) and radii (rj) that cover a given set of...
