Asymptotically bounding the covering radius in terms of the dual distance is a well-studied problem. We will combine the polynomial approach with estimates of the distance distribu...
Selecting a small set of nodes called pivots, from all the nodes in a network and maintaining the routing infrastructure to and among each other can reduce routing overhead and ex...
We present new primal-dual algorithms for several network design problems. The problems considered are the generalized Steiner tree problem (GST), the directed Steiner tree proble...
In an industry project with a German car manufacturer we are faced with the challenge of placing a maximum number of uniform rigid rectangular boxes in the interior of a car trunk...

We introduce a natural generalization of submodular set cover and exact active learning with a finite hypothesis class (query learning). We call this new problem interactive submo...
