We discuss two approximation approaches, the primal-dual schema and the local-ratio technique. We present two relatively simple frameworks, one for each approach, which extend know...
We analyze the performance of simple algorithms for matching two planar point sets under rigid transformations so as to minimize the directed Hausdorff distance between the sets....
We present two polynomial-time approximation algorithms for the metric case of the maximum traveling salesman problem. One of them is for directed graphs and its approximation rat...
The ratio of the largest eigenvalue divided by the trace of a p×p random Wishart matrix with n degrees of freedom and identity covariance matrix plays an important role in variou...
The Steiner tree problem in weighted graphs seeks a minimum weight connected subgraph containing a given subset of the vertices terminals. We present a new polynomial-time heurist...
