A 5/3-Approximation for Finding Spanning Trees with Many Leaves in Cubic Graphs
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...

Approximating k-hop Minimum Spanning Trees in Euclidean Metrics
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...

Playing games with approximation algorithms
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...
