Approximation Algorithms for Hamming Clustering Problems
We study Hamming versions of two classical clustering problems. The Hamming radius p-clustering problem (HRC) for a set S of k binary strings, each of length n, is to find p bina...

An Improved Approximation Factor For The Unit Disk Covering Problem
We present a polynomial time algorithm for the unit disk covering problem with an approximation factor 72, and show that this is the best possible approximation factor based on th...

Approximation Algorithms for the Sex-Equal Stable Marriage Problem
The stable marriage problem is a classical matching problem introduced by Gale and Shapley. It is known that for any instance, there exists a solution, and there is a polynomial ti...

Market equilibrium via the excess demand function
We consider the problem of computing market equilibria and show three results. (i) For exchange economies satisfying weak gross substitutability we analyze a simple discrete versi...
