Faster Fixed-Parameter Tractable Algorithms for Matching and Packing Problems
Abstract. We obtain faster algorithms for problems such as rdimensional matching, r-set packing, graph packing, and graph edge packing when the size k of the solution is considered...

Fixed-Parameter Algorithms for the (k, r)-Center in Planar Graphs and Map Graphs
The (k, r)-center problem asks whether an input graph G has ≤ k vertices (called centers) such that every vertex of G is within distance ≤ r from some center. In this paper we ...

Fast Approximate PCPs
We investigate the question of when a prover can aid a verifier to reliably compute a function faster than if the verifier were to compute the function on its own. Our focus is ...

Truthful and Near-Optimal Mechanism Design via Linear Programming
We give a general technique to obtain approximation mechanisms that are truthful in expectation. We show that for packing domains, any α-approximation algorithm that also bounds ...
