Improved approximation algorithms for multidimensional bin packing problems
In this paper we introduce a new general framework for set covering problems, based on the combination of randomized rounding of the (near-)optimal solution of the Linear Programm...

A Linear Round Lower Bound for Lovasz-Schrijver SDP Relaxations of Vertex Cover
We study semidefinite programming relaxations of Vertex Cover arising from repeated applications of the LS+ “lift-and-project” method of Lovasz and Schrijver starting from th...

Approximation Algorithms for Asymmetric TSP by Decomposing Directed Regular Multigraphs
A directed multigraph is said to be d-regular if the indegree and outdegree of every vertex is exactly d. By Hall’s theorem one can represent such a multigraph as a combination ...

Experimental Analysis of Approximation Algorithms for the Vertex Cover and Set Covering Problems
Several approximation algorithms with proven performance guarantees have been proposed to find approximate solutions to classical combinatorial optimization problems. However, the...

On the Inapproximability of Vertex Cover on k-Partite k-Uniform Hypergraphs
Computing a minimum vertex cover in graphs and hypergraphs is a well-studied optimizaton problem. While intractable in general, it is well known that on bipartite graphs, vertex c...
