Linear-time algorithms for problems on planar graphs with fixed disk dimension
The disk dimension of a planar graph G is the least number k for which G embeds in the plane minus k open disks, with every vertex on the boundary of some disk. Useful properties ...

An Improved Grid-Based Approximation Algorithm for POMDPs
Although a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) provides an appealing model for problems of planning under uncertainty, exact algorithms for POMDPs are intractable...

The Snowblower Problem
Abstract: We introduce the snowblower problem (SBP), a new optimization problem that is closely related to milling problems and to some material-handling problems. The objective in...

A PTAS for Minimizing the Total Weighted Completion Time on Identical Parallel Machines
We consider the problem of scheduling a set of n jobs on m identical parallel machines so as to minimize the weighted sum of job completion times. This problem is NP-hard in the s...

Cluster connecting problem inside a polygon
The cluster connecting problem inside a simple polygon is introduced in this paper. The problem is shown to be NP-complete. A log n-factor approximation algorithm is proposed.
