Solving the Uncapacitated Facility Location Problem Using Message Passing Algorithms
The Uncapacitated Facility Location Problem (UFLP) is one of the most widely studied discrete location problems, whose applications arise in a variety of settings. We tackle the U...

Improved Bounds for Facility Location Games with Fair Cost Allocation
Abstract. We study Facility Location games played by n agents situated on the nodes of a graph. Each agent orders installation of a facility at a node of the graph and pays connect...

A 3-Approximation for Facility Location with Uniform Capacities
We consider the facility location problem where each facility can serve at most U clients. We analyze a local search algorithm for this problem which uses only the operations of ad...

Approximate mechanism design without money
The literature on algorithmic mechanism design is mostly concerned with game-theoretic versions of optimization problems to which standard economic money-based mechanisms cannot b...

Approximating Minimum Bending Energy Path in a Simple Corridor
Abstract. In this paper, we consider the problem of computing a minimum bending energy path (or MinBEP) in a simple corridor. Given a simple 2D corridor C bounded by straight line ...
