Efficient Algorithms for Constant Well Supported Approximate Equilibria in Bimatrix Games
Abstract. In this work we study the tractability of well supported approximate Nash Equilibria (SuppNE in short) in bimatrix games. In view of the apparent intractability of constr...

A PTAS for a Disc Covering Problem Using Width-Bounded Separators
In this paper, we study the following disc covering problem: Given a set of discs of various radii on the plane, find a subset of discs to maximize the area covered by exactly on...

An Approximation Algorithm for a Bottleneck Traveling Salesman Problem
Consider a truck running along a road. It picks up a load Li at point i and delivers it at i, carrying at most one load at a time. The speed on the various parts of the road in on...
