Approximating the Problem, not the Solution: An Alternative View of Point Set Matching
This work discusses the issue of approximation in point set matching problems. In general, one may have two classes of approximations when tackling a matching problem: a representa...

Approximating node connectivity problems via set covers
Given a graph (directed or undirected) with costs on the edges, and an integer k, we consider the problem of nding a k-node connected spanning subgraph of minimum cost. For the ge...

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...

An improved approximation algorithm for the partial latin square extension problem
Previous work on the partial Latin square extension (PLSE) problem resulted in a 2-approximation algorithm based on the LP relaxation of a three-dimensional assignment IP formulat...
