An Approximation Scheme for Terrain Guarding
We obtain a polynomial time approximation scheme for the terrain guarding problem improving upon several recent constant factor approximations. Our algorithm is a local search algo...

Constant Factor Approximations for the Hotlink Assignment Problem
An approach for reducing the navigation effort for the users of a web site is to enhance its hyperlink structure with additional hotlinks. We address the task of adding at most on...

A Fully Dynamic Approximation Scheme for Shortest Paths in Planar Graphs
In this paper we give a fully dynamic approximation scheme for maintaining all-pairs shortest paths in planar networks. Given an error parameter ε such that 0 < ε, our algorit...

A Constant-Factor Approximation Algorithm for the Multicommodity
We present the first constant-factor approximation algorithm for network design with multiple commodities and economies of scale. We consider the rent-or-buy problem, a type of m...

Fast and Compact Oracles for Approximate Distances in Planar Graphs
We present an experimental evaluation of an approximate distance oracle recently suggested by Thorup [1] for undirected planar graphs. The oracle uses the existence of graph separa...
