On the Inapproximability of Vertex Cover on k-Partite k-Uniform Hypergraphs
Computing a minimum vertex cover in graphs and hypergraphs is a well-studied optimizaton problem. While intractable in general, it is well known that on bipartite graphs, vertex c...

Bounded Size Graph Clustering with Applications to Stream Processing
We introduce a graph clustering problem motivated by a stream processing application. Input to our problem is an undirected graph with vertex and edge weights. A cluster is a subse...

QoS Routing with Performance-Dependent Costs
Abstract—We study a network model in which each network link is associated with a set of delays and costs. These costs are a function of the delays and reflect the prices paid i...
