How Well Can Primal-Dual and Local-Ratio Algorithms Perform?
We define an algorithmic paradigm, the stack model, that captures many primal-dual and local-ratio algorithms for approximating covering and packing problems. The stack model is ...

Target-Oriented Scheduling in Directional Sensor Networks
— Unlike convectional omni-directional sensors that always have an omni-angle of sensing range, directional sensors may have a limited angle of sensing range due to technical con...

Maximum Coverage Problem with Group Budget Constraints and Applications
We study a variant of the maximum coverage problem which we label the maximum coverage problem with group budget constraints (MCG). We are given a collection of sets S = {S1, S2, ....

Minimum Dominating Set Approximation in Graphs of Bounded Arboricity
Abstract. Since in general it is NP-hard to solve the minimum dominating set problem even approximatively, a lot of work has been dedicated to central and distributed approximation...

The k-in-a-tree problem for graphs of girth at least k
For all integers k 3, we give an O(n4 ) time algorithm for the problem whose instance is a graph G of girth at least k together with k vertices and whose question is "Does G...
