Constant-Time Approximation Algorithms via Local Improvements
We present a technique for transforming classical approximation algorithms into constant-time algorithms that approximate the size of the optimal solution. Our technique is applic...

Distributed Approximation of Capacitated Dominating Sets
We study local, distributed algorithms for the capacitated minimum dominating set (CapMDS) problem, which arises in various distributed network applications. Given a network graph...

Practical Discrete Unit Disk Cover Using an Exact Line-Separable Algorithm
Given m unit disks and n points in the plane, the discrete unit disk cover problem is to select a minimum subset of the disks to cover the points. This problem is NP-hard [11] and ...
