Vertex Cover Approximations: Experiments and Observations
The vertex cover problem is a classic NP-complete problem for which the best worst-case approximation ratio is roughly 2. In this paper, we use a collection of simple reductions, e...

An Exponential Time 2-Approximation Algorithm for Bandwidth
The bandwidth of a graph G on n vertices is the minimum b such that the vertices of G can be labeled from 1 to n such that the labels of every pair of adjacent vertices differ by ...

What makes some POMDP problems easy to approximate?
Point-based algorithms have been surprisingly successful in computing approximately optimal solutions for partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) in high dimension...

Improved Approximation Algorithms for the Minimum Latency Problem via Prize-Collecting Strolls
The minimum latency problem (MLP) is a well-studied variant of the traveling salesman problem (TSP). In the MLP, the server's goal is to minimize the average latency that the...

The Multi-radius Cover Problem
An instance of the multi-radius cover problem consists of a graph G = (V, E) with edge lengths l : E → R+ . Each vertex u ∈ V represents a transmission station for which a tra...
