We study the problem of maximizing the lifetime of a sensor network assigned to monitor a given area. Our main result is a linear time dual approximation algorithm that comes arbit...
Approximation has been shown to be an eective method for reducing the time and space costs of solving various oorplan area minimization problems. In this paper, we present several...
Given a positive integer n and a positive semidefinite matrix A = (Aij ) ∈ Rm×m the positive semidefinite Grothendieck problem with rank-nconstraint is (SDPn) maximize mX i=1 ...
Several combinatorial optimization problems choose elements to minimize the total cost of constructing a feasible solution that satisfies requirements of clients. In the STEINER T...
In the rectangle stabbing problem we are given a set of axis parallel rectangles and a set of horizontal and vertical lines, and our goal is to find a minimum size subset of lines...
