Abstract-- Mobile location estimation is becoming an important value-added service for a mobile phone operator. It is well-known that GPS can provide an accurate location estimatio...
Garg [10] gives two approximation algorithms for the minimum-cost tree spanning k vertices in an undirected graph. Recently Jain and Vazirani [16] discovered primal-dual approxima...
This paper deals with facility location problems with pos=neg weights in trees. We consider two di erent objective functions which model two di erent ways to handle obnoxious faci...
In this paper, we discuss and compare several policies to place replicas in tree networks, subject to server capacity constraints. The client requests are known beforehand, while ...
The group Steiner problem is a classical network design problem where we are given a graph and a collection of groups of vertices, and want to build a min-cost subgraph that conne...
