It is well known that the maximum weighted independent set (MWIS) problem is NP-complete. Moreover, optimal scheduling in wireless networks requires solving a MWIS problem. Conseq...
Abstract. Protein structural alignment is an indispensable tool used for many different studies in bioinformatics. Most structural alignment algorithms assume that the structural ...

We show for several planar and geometric problems that the best known approximation schemes are essentially optimal with respect to the dependence on ǫ. For example, we show that...
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...
Abstract. Connected dominating set (CDS) has a wide range of applications in wireless ad hoc networks. A number of approximation algorithms for constructing a small CDS in wireless...
