We present a technique for transforming classical approximation algorithms into constant-time algorithms that approximate the size of the optimal solution. Our technique is applic...
In this paper, we consider the problem of representing graphs by polygons whose sides touch. We show that at least six sides per polygon are necessary by constructing a class of pl...

We show that every NP problem is polynomially equivalent to a simple combinatorial problem: the membership problem for a special class of digraphs. These classes are defined by me...
We introduce and study the donation center location problem, which has an additional application in network testing and may also be of independent interest as a general graph-theor...
Abstract. Let the graph G = (V, E) be a cycle with n + 1 vertices, nonnegative vertex weights and positive edge lengths. The inverse 1-median problem on a cycle consists in changin...
