Network Design via Core Detouring for Problems without a Core
Some of the currently best-known approximation algorithms for network design are based on random sampling. One of the key steps of such algorithms is connecting a set of source nod...

Improved algorithms for orienteering and related problems
In this paper we consider the orienteering problem in undirected and directed graphs and obtain improved approximation algorithms. The point to point-orienteering-problem is the f...

Logarithmic hardness of the directed congestion minimization problem
We show that for any constant ε > 0, there is no Ω(log1−ε M)approximation algorithm for the directed congestion minimization problem on networks of size M unless NP ⊆ Z...

Tree Embeddings for Two-Edge-Connected Network Design
The group Steiner problem is a classical network design problem where we are given a graph and a collection of groups of vertices, and want to build a min-cost subgraph that conne...
