Asymmetric Traveling Salesman Path and Directed Latency Problems
We study integrality gaps and approximability of two closely related problems on directed graphs. Given a set V of n nodes in an underlying asymmetric metric and two specified nod...

Simultaneously Sparse Solutions to Linear Inverse Problems with Multiple System Matrices and a Single Observation Vector
Abstract. A problem that arises in slice-selective magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiofrequency (RF) excitation pulse design is abstracted as a novel linear inverse problem with...

Improved Approximations for TSP with Simple Precedence Constraints
In this paper, we consider variants of the traveling salesman problem with precedence constraints. We characterize hard input instances for Christofides' algorithm and Hoogeve...

Hitting forbidden minors: Approximation and Kernelization
We study a general class of problems called F -Deletion problems. In an F -Deletion problem, we are asked whether a subset of at most k vertices can be deleted from a graph G such...

Connected facility location via random facility sampling and core detouring
We present a simple randomized algorithmic framework for connected facility location problems. The basic idea is as follows: We run a black-box approximation algorithm for the unc...
