Approximation Algorithms for Disjoint Paths and Related Routing and Packing Problems
Given a network and a set of connection requests on it, we consider the maximum edge-disjoint paths and related generalizations and routing problems that arise in assigning paths f...

Approximating Maximum Weight Cycle Covers in Directed Graphs with Weights Zero and One
A cycle cover of a graph is a spanning subgraph each node of which is part of exactly one simple cycle. A k-cycle cover is a cycle cover where each cycle has length at least k. Gi...

Minimum Vertex Cover in Rectangle Graphs
We consider the Minimum Vertex Cover problem in intersection graphs of axis-parallel rectangles on the plane. We present two algorithms: The first is an EPTAS for non-crossing rect...
