In the last 25 years approximation algorithms for discrete optimization problems have been in the center of research in the fields of mathematical programming and computer science...
— In this paper, we address the network maintenance problem, in which we aim to maximize the lifetime of a sensor network by adding a set of relays to it. The network lifetime is...
Consider the following problem: given a metric space, some of whose points are "clients," select a set of at most k facility locations to minimize the average distance f...

Abstract— Enhancing the connectivity of wireless sensor networks is necessary to avoid the occurrence of coverage gaps. In this paper, we aim at improving the network connectivit...
—In this paper, we address the problem of establishing full connectivity and satisfying required traffic capacity between disconnected clusters in large wireless ad-hoc ground n...
