The Power of Priority Algorithms for Facility Location and Set Cover
We apply and extend the priority algorithm framework introduced by Borodin, Nielsen, and Rackoff to define "greedy-like" algorithms for the (uncapacitated) facility locat...

On the Complexity of Approximating TSP with Neighborhoods and Related Problems
We prove that various geometric covering problems, related to the Travelling Salesman Problem cannot be efficiently approximated to within any constant factor unless P = NP. This ...

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...
