Prize-Collecting Steiner Network Problems
In the Steiner Network problem we are given a graph with edge-costs and connectivity requirements between node pairs , . The goal is to find a minimum-cost subgraph of that contain...

On the Complexity of Approximating TSP with Neighborhoods and Related Problems
We prove that various geometric covering problems, related to the Travelling Salesman Problem cannot be efficiently approximated to within any constant factor unless P = NP. This ...

Can Pure Cutting Plane Algorithms Work?
We discuss an implementation of the lexicographic version of Gomory's fractional cutting plane method and of two heuristics mimicking the latter. In computational testing on a...

Constant-Time Approximation Algorithms via Local Improvements
We present a technique for transforming classical approximation algorithms into constant-time algorithms that approximate the size of the optimal solution. Our technique is applic...

Separation algorithms for 0-1 knapsack polytopes
Valid inequalities for 0-1 knapsack polytopes often prove useful when tackling hard 0-1 Linear Programming problems. To generate such inequalities, one needs separation algorithms...
