Online Interval Coloring with Packing Constraints
We study online interval coloring problems with bandwidth. We are interested in some variants motivated by bin packing problems. Specifically we consider open-end coloring, cardin...

Dense Packings of Equal Spheres in a Cube
We describe an adaptation of the billiard algorithm for finding dense packings of equal spheres inside a domain of the euclidean space. In order to improve the convergence of this...

Hedging Uncertainty: Approximation Algorithms for Stochastic Optimization Problems
Abstract. We study two-stage, finite-scenario stochastic versions of several combinatorial optimization problems, and provide nearly tight approximation algorithms for them. Our pr...

Solving Packing Problem with Weaker Block Solvers
We study the general packing problem with M constraints. In [Jansen and Zhang, TCS 2002] a c(1 + ε)-approximation algorithm for the general packing problem was proposed. A block s...

Improved Bounds for Online Routing and Packing Via a Primal-Dual Approach
In this work we study a wide range of online and offline routing and packing problems with various objectives. We provide a unified approach, based on a clean primal-dual method...
