An approximation algorithm for network design problems with downwards-monotone demand functions
Building on an existing 2-approximate algorithm for the class of network design problems with downwards-monotone demand functions, many of which are NP-hard, we present an algorith...

A Constant-Factor Approximation Algorithm for the k-Median Problem
We present the first constant-factor approximation algorithm for the metric k-median problem. The k-median problem is one of the most well-studied clustering problems, i.e., those...

Approximation and fixed-parameter algorithms for consecutive ones submatrix problems
We develop an algorithmically useful refinement of a forbidden submatrix characterization of 0/1-matrices fulfilling the Consecutive Ones Property (C1P). This characterization ...

Constant factor approximation algorithm for the knapsack median problem
We give a constant factor approximation algorithm for the following generalization of the k-median problem. We are given a set of clients and facilities in a metric space. Each fa...

Approximation Algorithms for Some Graph Partitioning Problems
This paper considers problems of the following type: given an edgeweighted k-colored input graph with maximum color class size c, find a minimum or maximum c-way cut such that eac...
