Analysis of population-based evolutionary algorithms for the vertex cover problem
— Recently it has been proved that the (1+1)-EA produces poor worst-case approximations for the vertex cover problem. In this paper the result is extended to the (1+λ)-EA by pro...

Approximation Algorithms for Buy-at-Bulk Geometric Network Design
Abstract. The buy-at-bulk network design problem has been extensively studied in the general graph model. In this paper we consider the geometric version of the problem, where all ...

Amplified Hardness of Approximation for VCG-Based Mechanisms
If a two-player social welfare maximization problem does not admit a PTAS, we prove that any maximal-in-range truthful mechanism that runs in polynomial time cannot achieve an app...

Geometric Optimization Problems Over Sliding Windows
Abstract. We study the problem of maintaining a (1+ )-factor approximation of the diameter of a stream of points under the sliding window model. In one dimension, we give a simple ...
