Hardness of the undirected congestion minimization problem
We show that there is no log log M log log log M -approximation for the undirected congestion minimization problem unless NP ZPTIME(npolylog n ), where M is the size of the grap...

A 2.5-Factor Approximation Algorithm for the k-MST Problem
The k-MST problem requires finding that subset of at least k vertices of a given graph whose Minimum Spanning Tree has least weight amongst all subsets of at least k vertices. Th...

A Fast 5/2-Approximation Algorithm for Hierarchical Scheduling
We present in this article a new approximation algorithm for scheduling a set of n independent rigid (meaning requiring a fixed number of processors) jobs on hierarchical parallel ...

Approximation algorithms for channel allocation problems in broadcast networks
We study two packing problems that arise in the area of dissemination-based information systems; a second theme is the study of distributed approximation algorithms. The problems c...

A practical approach for computing the diameter of a point set
We present an approximation algorithm for computing the diameter of a point-set in d-dimensions. The new algorithm is sensitive to the "hardness" of computing the diamet...
