We obtain the first approximation algorithm for finding the k-simple shortest paths connecting a pair of vertices in a weighted directed graph. Our algorithm is deterministic an...
Producing a small DNF expression consistent with given data is a classical problem in computer science that occurs in a number of forms and has numerous applications. We consider ...
Local ratio is a well-known paradigm for designing approximation algorithms for combinatorial optimization problems. At a very high level, a local-ratio algorithm first decomposes ...
Clustering time-series data poses problems, which do not exist in traditional clustering in Euclidean space. Specifically, cluster prototype needs to be calculated, where common s...
