Approximating Multi-Criteria Max-TSP
Abstract. We present randomized approximation algorithms for multicriteria Max-TSP. For Max-STSP with k > 1 objective functions, we obtain an approximation ratio of 1 k - for a...

Truthful and Near-Optimal Mechanism Design via Linear Programming
We give a general technique to obtain approximation mechanisms that are truthful in expectation. We show that for packing domains, any α-approximation algorithm that also bounds ...

Probabilistic discovery of time series motifs
Several important time series data mining problems reduce to the core task of finding approximately repeated subsequences in a longer time series. In an earlier work, we formalize...

Paths, Trees, and Minimum Latency Tours
We give improved approximation algorithms for a variety of latency minimization problems. In particular, we give a 3.591 -approximation to the minimum latency problem, improving o...

The complexity of choosing an H-colouring (nearly) uniformly at random
Cooper, Dyer and Frieze studied the problem of sampling H-colourings (nearly) uniformly at random. Special cases of this problem include sampling colourings and independent sets a...
