The importance of being biased
The Minimum Vertex Cover problem is the problem of, given a graph, finding a smallest set of vertices that touches all edges. We show that it is NP-hard to approximate this proble...

Approximating Single Machine Scheduling with Scenarios
In the field of robust optimization, the goal is to provide solutions to combinatorial problems that hedge against variations of the numerical parameters. This constitutes an effor...

Streaming Algorithms for k-Center Clustering with Outliers and with Anonymity
Clustering is a common problem in the analysis of large data sets. Streaming algorithms, which make a single pass over the data set using small working memory and produce a cluster...

Approximate counting by dynamic programming
We give efficient algorithms to sample uniformly, and count approximately, the solutions to a zero-one knapsack problem. The algorithm is based on using dynamic programming to pro...

The Range Assignment Problem in Static Ad-Hoc Networks on Metric Spaces
In this paper we study the range assignment problem in static ad-hoc networks on metric spaces. We consider the h-strong connectivity and h-broadcast problems on trees, high dimens...
