Let G be a connected graph, and let V and V two n-element subsets of its vertex set V (G). Imagine that we place a chip at each element of V and we want to move them into the posi...
We establish several approximate max-integral-flow / minmulticut theorems. While in general this ratio can be very large, we prove strong approximation ratios in the case where th...
Motivated by the desire to cope with data imprecision [8], we study methods for preprocessing a set of planar regions such that whenever we are given a set of points, each of whic...
We present a technique for transforming classical approximation algorithms into constant-time algorithms that approximate the size of the optimal solution. Our technique is applic...
The structural properties of graphs are usually characterized in terms of invariants, which are functions of graphs that do not depend on the labeling of the nodes. In this paper ...
