A Practical Approximation Algorithm for the LMS Line Estimator
The problem of fitting a straight line to a finite collection of points in the plane is an important problem in statistical estimation. Robust estimators are widely used because...

Lower Bound for Envy-Free and Truthful Makespan Approximation on Related Machines
We study problems of scheduling jobs on related machines so as to minimize the makespan in the setting where machines are strategic agents. In this problem, each job j has a lengt...

A polynomial-time approximation scheme for planar multiway cut
Given an undirected graph with edge lengths and a subset of nodes (called the terminals), the multiway cut (also called the multi-terminal cut) problem asks for a subset of edges,...

Improved Approximation Bounds for Planar Point Pattern Matching
We analyze the performance of simple algorithms for matching two planar point sets under rigid transformations so as to minimize the directed Hausdorff distance between the sets....

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...
