On the Complexity of Approximating TSP with Neighborhoods and Related Problems
We prove that various geometric covering problems, related to the Travelling Salesman Problem cannot be efficiently approximated to within any constant factor unless P = NP. This ...

Maximum Coverage Problem with Group Budget Constraints and Applications
We study a variant of the maximum coverage problem which we label the maximum coverage problem with group budget constraints (MCG). We are given a collection of sets S = {S1, S2, ....

Vertex Cover Approximations on Random Graphs
Abstract. The vertex cover problem is a classical NP-complete problem for which the best worst-case approximation ratio is 2− o(1). In this paper, we use a collection of simple g...

Approximating Node-Connectivity Augmentation Problems
The (undirected) Node Connectivity Augmentation (NCA) problem is: given a graph J = (V, EJ ) and connectivity requirements {r(u, v) : u, v ∈ V }, find a minimum size set I of n...

Randomized Rounding for Routing and Covering Problems: Experiments and Improvements
We investigate how the recently developed different approaches to generate randomized roundings satisfying disjoint cardinality constraints behave when used in two classical algori...
