The problem of interest is covering a given point set with homothetic copies of several convex containers C1,...,Ck, while the objective is to minimize the maximum over the dilatat...
For several NP-hard network design problems, the best known approximation algorithms are remarkably simple randomized algorithms called Sample-Augment algorithms in [11]. The algor...
