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...

On the Power of Local Orientations
We consider a network represented by a simple connected undirected graph with N anonymous nodes that have local orientations, i.e. incident edges of each vertex have locally-unique...

Simple Robots with Minimal Sensing: From Local Visibility to Global Geometry
We consider problems of geometric exploration and selfdeployment for simple robots that can only sense the combinatorial (non-metric) features of their surroundings. Even with suc...

Constant-Factor Approximation for Minimum-Weight (Connected) Dominating Sets in Unit Disk Graphs
For a given graph with weighted vertices, the goal of the minimum-weight dominating set problem is to compute a vertex subset of smallest weight such that each vertex of the graph...

On improving approximate solutions by evolutionary algorithms
Abstract—Hybrid methods are very popular for solving problems from combinatorial optimization. In contrast to this the theoretical understanding of the interplay of different opt...
