We investigate a special case of the maximum quadratic assignment problem where one matrix is a product matrix and the other matrix is the distance matrix of a one-dimensional poi...
In this paper, we give a O(log copt)-approximation algorithm for the point guard problem where copt is the optimal number of guards. Our algorithm runs in time polynomial in n, the...
