Minimizing the Diameter of a Network Using Shortcut Edges
We study the problem of minimizing the diameter of a graph by adding k shortcut edges, for speeding up communication in an existing network design. We develop constant-factor appro...

On the Complexity of Approximating TSP with Neighborhoods and Related Problems
We prove that various geometric covering problems, related to the Travelling Salesman Problem cannot be efficiently approximated to within any constant factor unless P = NP. This ...

Content distribution by multiple multicast trees and intersession cooperation: Optimal algorithms and approximations
—The paper addresses the problem of massive content distribution in the network where multiple sessions coexist. In the traditional approaches, the sessions form separate overlay...

Equivalence of local treewidth and linear local treewidth and its algorithmic applications
We solve an open problem posed by Eppstein in 1995 [14, 15] and re-enforced by Grohe [16, 17] concerning locally bounded treewidth in minor-closed families of graphs. A graph has ...

Approximation Bounds for a General Class of Precedence Constrained Parallel Machine Scheduling Problems
Abstract. A well studied and difficult class of scheduling problems concerns parallel machines and precedence constraints. In order to model more realistic situations, we consider ...
