Given the ubiquity of time series data, the data mining community has spent significant time investigating the best time series similarity measure to use for various tasks and dom...

We consider approximation algorithms for non-uniform buy-at-bulk network design problems. The first nontrivial approximation algorithm for this problem is due to Charikar and Kar...

We consider the problem of protein folding in the HP model on the 3D square lattice. This problem is combinatorially equivalent to folding a string of 0’s and 1’s so that the s...
Semidefinite programming based approximation algorithms, such as the Goemans and Williamson approximation algorithm for the MAX CUT problem, are usually shown to have certain perf...
We consider the problem of finding a lowest cost dominating set in a given disk graph containing n disks. The problem has been extensively studied on subclasses of disk graphs, ye...
