New approaches to covering and packing problems
Covering and packing integer programs model a large family of combinatorial optimization problems. The current-best approximation algorithms for these are an instance of the basic...

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...

Fast Approximate Graph Partitioning Algorithms
We study graph partitioning problems on graphs with edge capacities and vertex weights. The problems of b-balanced cuts and k-balanced partitions are unified into a new problem ca...

Testing k-wise and almost k-wise independence
In this work, we consider the problems of testing whether a distribution over {0, 1}n is k-wise (resp. ( , k)-wise) independent using samples drawn from that distribution. For the...

Approximation of RNA Multiple Structural Alignment
Abstract. In the context of non-coding RNA (ncRNA) multiple structural alignment, Davydov and Batzoglou introduced in [7] the problem of finding the largest nested linear graph tha...
