The Checkpoint Problem
In this paper, we consider the checkpoint problem in which given an undirected graph G, a set of sourcedestinations {(s1, t1), (s1, t1), . . . , (sk, tk)} and a set of fixed paths...

How Well Can Primal-Dual and Local-Ratio Algorithms Perform?
We define an algorithmic paradigm, the stack model, that captures many primal-dual and local-ratio algorithms for approximating covering and packing problems. The stack model is ...

Local Graph Partitions for Approximation and Testing
—We introduce a new tool for approximation and testing algorithms called partitioning oracles. We develop methods for constructing them for any class of bounded-degree graphs wit...

Complete partitions of graphs
A complete partition of a graph G is a partition of its vertex set in which any two distinct classes are connected by an edge. Let cp(G) denote the maximum number of classes in a ...

A Fast Approximation Scheme for Probabilistic Wavelet Synopses
Several studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of Haar wavelets in reducing large amounts of data down to compact wavelet synopses that can be used to obtain fast, accurate a...
