We develop an algorithmically useful refinement of a forbidden submatrix characterization of 0/1-matrices fulfilling the Consecutive Ones Property (C1P). This characterization ...
We give a 7.18-approximation algorithm for the minimum latency problem that uses only O(n log n) calls to the prize-collecting Steiner tree (PCST) subroutine of Goemans and Willia...
Problem (Extended Abstract) Cliff Stein David P. Wagner Dartmouth College Computer Science Technical Report TR2000-367 May 9, 2000 The problem of traversing a set of points in the...
Consider a truck running along a road. It picks up a load Li at point i and delivers it at i, carrying at most one load at a time. The speed on the various parts of the road in on...
In unweighted case, approximation ratio for the independent set problem has been analyzed in terms of the graph parameters, such as the number of vertices, maximum degree, and aver...
