We give a general technique to obtain approximation mechanisms that are truthful in expectation. We show that for packing domains, any α-approximation algorithm that also bounds ...
Let T = (V, E) be an undirected tree, in which each edge is associated with a non-negative cost, and let {s1, t1}, . . . , {sk, tk} be a collection of k distinct pairs of vertices...
We consider the variant of the minimum vertex cover problem in which we require that the cover induces a connected subgraph. We give new approximation results for this problem in d...
We present a new data structure that facilitates approximate nearest neighbor searches on a dynamic set of points in a metric space that has a bounded doubling dimension. Our data...
This paper brings a contribution to the problem of efficiently recognizing handwritten words from a limited size lexicon. For that, a multiple classifier system has been developed...
