Thresholded Covering Algorithms for Robust and Max-min Optimization
The general problem of robust optimization is this: one of several possible scenarios will appear tomorrow, but things are more expensive tomorrow than they are today. What should...

Improved Steiner tree approximation in graphs
The Steiner tree problem in weighted graphs seeks a minimum weight connected subgraph containing a given subset of the vertices terminals. We present a new polynomial-time heurist...

An Improved Approximation Bound for Spanning Star Forest and Color Saving
We present a simple algorithm for the maximum spanning star forest problem. We take advantage of the fact that the problem is a special case of complementary set cover and we adapt...

Approximate Integer Decompositions for Undirected Network Design Problems
A well-known theorem of Nash-Williams and Tutte gives a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of k edge-disjoint spanning trees in an undirected graph. A corollary o...

Prize-Collecting Steiner Network Problems
In the Steiner Network problem we are given a graph with edge-costs and connectivity requirements between node pairs , . The goal is to find a minimum-cost subgraph of that contain...
