Better Approximation Guarantees for Job-shop Scheduling
Job-shop scheduling is a classical NP-hard problem. Shmoys, Stein, and Wein presented the first polynomial-time approximation algorithm for this problem that has a good (polylogar...

On the Covering Steiner Problem
The Covering Steiner problem is a common generalization of the k-MST and Group Steiner problems. An instance of the Covering Steiner problem consists of an undirected graph with ed...

Solving Packing Problem with Weaker Block Solvers
We study the general packing problem with M constraints. In [Jansen and Zhang, TCS 2002] a c(1 + ε)-approximation algorithm for the general packing problem was proposed. A block s...

New primal-dual algorithms for Steiner tree problems
We present new primal-dual algorithms for several network design problems. The problems considered are the generalized Steiner tree problem (GST), the directed Steiner tree proble...

On Bounded Distance Decoding, Unique Shortest Vectors, and the Minimum Distance Problem
We prove the equivalence, up to a small polynomial approximation factor n/ log n, of the lattice problems uSVP (unique Shortest Vector Problem), BDD (Bounded Distance Decoding) and...
