The Freeze-Tag Problem: How to Wake Up a Swarm of Robots
An optimization problem that naturally arises in the study of swarm robotics is the Freeze-Tag Problem (FTP) of how to awaken a set of "asleep" robots, by having an awak...

Compact Location Problems
We investigate the complexity and approximability of some location problems when two distance values are specified for each pair of potential sites. These problems involve the se...

Approximating Maximum Subgraphs without Short Cycles
We study approximation algorithms, integrality gaps, and hardness of approximation, of two problems related to cycles of "small" length k in a given graph. The instance f...

The Complexity of Polynomial-Time Approximation
In 1996, Khanna and Motwani [KM96] proposed three logic-based optimization problems constrained by planar structure, and offered the hypothesis that these putatively fundamental ...

Approximate extended formulations
Mixed integer programming (MIP) formulations are typically tightened through the use of a separation algorithm and the addition of violated cuts. Using extended formulations involv...
