On Exact and Approximation Algorithms for Distinguishing Substring Selection
Abstract. The NP-complete Distinguishing Substring Selection problem (DSSS for short) asks, given a set of “good” strings and a set of “bad” strings, for a solution string ...

Approximability of Robust Network Design
We consider robust network design problems where the set of feasible demands may be given by an arbitrary polytope or convex body more generally. This model, introduced by BenAmeu...

Approximating sensor network queries using in-network summaries
In this work we present new in-network techniques for communication efficient approximate query processing in wireless sensornets. We use a model-based approach that constructs a...

LCS Approximation via Embedding into Local Non-repetitive Strings
A classical measure of similarity between strings is the length of the longest common subsequence(LCS) between the two given strings. The search for efficient algorithms for findi...

Approximating Fault-Tolerant Group-Steiner Problems
In this paper, we initiate the study of designing approximation algorithms for FaultTolerant Group-Steiner (FTGS) problems. The motivation is to protect the well-studied group-Ste...
