We improve the approximation ratios for two optimization problems in planar graphs. For node-weighted Steiner tree, a classical network-optimization problem, the best achievable ap...

Abstract. Connected dominating set (CDS) has a wide range of applications in wireless ad hoc networks. A number of approximation algorithms for constructing a small CDS in wireless...
A wireless ad-hoc network is a collection of transceivers positioned in the plane. Each transceiver is equipped with a limited battery charge. The battery charge is then reduced a...
We give a simple framework which is an alternative to the celebrated and widely used shifting strategy of Hochbaum and Maass [J. ACM, 1985] which has yielded efficient algorithms ...
We propose a new family of non-submodular global energy functions that still use submodularity internally to couple edges in a graph cut. We show it is possible to develop an efï¬...
