Approximating the single source unsplittable min-cost flow problem
Abstract. In the single source unsplittable min-cost flow problem, commodities must be routed simultaneously from a common source vertex to certain destination vertices in a given ...

Linear Programming Matching and Appearance-Adaptive Object Tracking
Abstract. In this paper, we present a novel successive relaxation linear programming scheme for solving the important class of consistent labeling problems for which an L1 metric i...

Differential approximation results for the traveling salesman and related problems
This paper deals with the problem of constructing a Hamiltonian cycle of optimal weight, called TSP. We show that TSP is 2/3-differential approximable and can not be differential a...

Combinatorial Problems on Strings with Applications to Protein Folding
We consider the problem of protein folding in the HP model on the 3D square lattice. This problem is combinatorially equivalent to folding a string of 0’s and 1’s so that the s...

Approximating the Stochastic Knapsack Problem: The Benefit of Adaptivity
We consider a stochastic variant of the NP-hard 0/1 knapsack problem in which item values are deterministic and item sizes are independent random variables with known, arbitrary d...
