Approximating corridors and tours via restriction and relaxation techniques
Given a rectangular boundary partitioned into rectangles, the Minimum-Length Corridor (MLC-R) problem consists of finding a corridor of least total length. A corridor is a set of ...

A Threshold of ln n for Approximating Set Cover
Given a collection Ᏺ of subsets of S ϭ {1, . . . , n}, set cover is the problem of selecting as few as possible subsets from Ᏺ such that their union covers S, and max k-cover ...

Improved approximation algorithms for rectangle tiling and packing
We provide improved approximation algorithms for several rectangle tiling and packing problems (RTILE, DRTILE and d-RPACK) studied in the literature. Our algorithms are highly eff...
