Virtual Private Network Design is the following NP-hard problem. We are given a communication network, represented as a weighted graph with thresholds on the nodes which represent...

We give a 7.18-approximation algorithm for the minimum latency problem that uses only O(n log n) calls to the prize-collecting Steiner tree (PCST) subroutine of Goemans and Willia...
In this paper, we show that any n point metric space can be embedded into a distribution over dominating tree metrics such that the expected stretch of any edge is O(log n). This ...
We consider a special subgraph of a weighted directed graph: one comprising only the k heaviest edges incoming to each vertex. We show that the maximum weight branching in this su...
We consider the problem of indexing high-dimensional data for answering (approximate) similarity-search queries. Similarity indexes prove to be important in a wide variety of sett...
