Stochastic analyses for online combinatorial optimization problems
In this paper, we study online algorithms when the input is not chosen adversarially, but consists of draws from some given probability distribution. While this model has been stu...

A plant location guide for the unsure
This paper studies an extension of the k-median problem where we are given a metric space (V, d) and not just one but m client sets {Si V }m i=1, and the goal is to open k facili...

Approximating connected facility location problems 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...

Minimum weight convex Steiner partitions
New tight bounds are presented on the minimum length of planar straight line graphs connecting n given points in the plane and having convex faces. Specifically, we show that the ...

Clustering for metric and non-metric distance measures
We study a generalization of the k-median problem with respect to an arbitrary dissimilarity measure D. Given a finite set P, our goal is to find a set C of size k such that the s...
