For a connected graph G, let L(G) denote the maximum number of leaves in a spanning tree in G. The problem of computing L(G) is known to be NP-hard even for cubic graphs. We improv...
We present a systematic study of approximation algorithms for the maximum weight matching problem. This includes a new algorithm which provides the simple greedy method with a rece...
In the minimum-cost k-hop spanning tree (k-hop MST) problem, we are given a set S of n points in a metric space, a positive small integer k and a root point r ∈ S. We are intere...
In an online linear optimization problem, on each period t, an online algorithm chooses st S from a fixed (possibly infinite) set S of feasible decisions. Nature (who may be adve...
This paper presents improved approximation algorithms for the problem of multiprocessor scheduling under uncertainty (SUU), in which the execution of each job may fail probabilist...
