Abstract. A central issue in the design of modern communication networks is the provision of Quality-of-Service (QoS) guarantees at the presence of heterogeneous users. For instanc...
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 ...
We present the first polynomial-time approximation schemes (PTASes) for the following subset-connectivity problems in edge-weighted graphs of bounded genus: Steiner tree, low-conn...

This paper is devoted to the following incremental problem. Initially, a graph and a distinguished subset of vertices, called initial group, are given. This group is connected by ...
