Approximation of min-max and min-max regret versions of some combinatorial optimization problems
This paper investigates, for the first time in the literature, the approximation of minmax (regret) versions of classical problems like shortest path, minimum spanning tree, and ...

Approximation Algorithms for Flexible Job Shop Problems
The Flexible Job Shop problem is a generalization of the classical job shop scheduling problem in which for every operation there is a group of machines that can process it. The p...

A PTAS for Minimizing the Total Weighted Completion Time on Identical Parallel Machines
We consider the problem of scheduling a set of n jobs on m identical parallel machines so as to minimize the weighted sum of job completion times. This problem is NP-hard in the s...

Approximation Schemes for Minimum 2-Connected Spanning Subgraphs in Weighted Planar Graphs
Abstract. We present new approximation schemes for various classical problems of finding the minimum-weight spanning subgraph in edge-weighted undirected planar graphs that are re...

Approximation Schemes for Scheduling
We discuss scheduling problems with m identical machines and n jobs where each job has to be assigned to some machine. The goal is to optimize objective functions that solely depe...
