A General Approximation Technique for Constrained Forest Problems
We present a general approximation technique for a large class of graph problems. Our technique mostly applies to problems of covering, at minimum cost, the vertices of a graph wit...

On the approximability of influence in social networks
In this paper, we study the spread of influence through a social network, in a model initially studied by Kempe, Kleinberg and Tardos [14, 15]: We are given a graph modeling a soc...

Approximate Range Searching in External Memory
In this paper, we present two linear-size external memory data structures for approximate range searching. Our first structure, the BAR-B-tree, stores a set of N points in Rd and ...
