Efficient Approximation Algorithms for the Subset-Sums Equality Problem
We investigate the problem of finding two nonempty disjoint subsets of a set of n positive integers, with the objective that the sums of the numbers in the two subsets be as close ...

Approximating the minimum clique cover and other hard problems in subtree filament graphs
Subtree filament graphs are the intersection graphs of subtree filaments in a tree. This class of graphs contains subtree overlap graphs, interval filament graphs, chordal graphs,...

An Approximation Algorithm for Computing a Parsimonious First Speciation in the Gene Duplication Model
We consider the following problem: given a forest of gene family trees on a set of genomes, find a first speciation which splits these genomes into two subsets and minimizes the ...

Small Approximate Pareto Sets for Bi-objective Shortest Paths and Other Problems
We investigate the problem of computing a minimum set of solutions that approximates within a specified accuracy the Pareto curve of a multiobjective optimization problem. We show...

Fast approximation of the permanent for very dense problems
Approximation of the permanent of a matrix with nonnegative entries is a well studied problem. The most successful approach to date for general matrices uses Markov chains to appr...
