Polynomial Time Approximation Scheme for Connected Vertex Cover in Unit Disk Graph
Connected Vertex Cover Problem (CVC) is an NP-hard problem. The currently best known approximation algorithm for CVC has performance ration 2. This paper gives the first Polynomial...

Vertex Cover Approximations on Random Graphs
Abstract. The vertex cover problem is a classical NP-complete problem for which the best worst-case approximation ratio is 2− o(1). In this paper, we use a collection of simple g...

Lower bounds for the relative greedy algorithm for approximating Steiner trees
Abstract. The Steiner tree problem is to find a shortest subgraph that spans a given set of vertices in a graph. This problem is known to be NP-hard and it is well known that a pol...

Approximate min-max theorems for Steiner rooted-orientations of graphs and hypergraphs
Given an undirected hypergraph and a subset of vertices S V with a specified root vertex r S, the STEINER ROOTED-ORIENTATION problem is to find an orientation of all the hypered...

Approximation Algorithms for Euclidean Group TSP
In the Euclidean group Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP), we are given a set of points P in the plane and a set of m connected regions, each containing at least one point of P. We w...
