We introduce a new technique for proving kernelization lower bounds, called cross-composition. A classical problem L cross-composes into a parameterized problem Q if an instance o...

Let A and B be two sets of m resp. n weighted points in the plane, with m ≤ n. We present (1 + ) and (2+ )-approximation algorithms for the minimum Euclidean Earth Mover’s Dis...

Given an undirected graph G = (V, E) and a weight function w : E → Z+ , we consider the problem of orienting all edges in E so that the maximum weighted outdegree among all verti...
The Target Set Selection problem proposed by Kempe, Kleinberg, and Tardos, gives a nice clean combinatorial formulation for many problems arising in economy, sociology, and medicin...

We consider the total weighted completion time scheduling problem for parallel identical machines and precedence constraints, P jprecj PwiCi. This important and broad class of pro...
