Improved Primal-Dual Approximation Algorithm for the Connected Facility Location Problem
In the Connected Facility Location(ConFL) problem, we are given a graph G = (V, E) with nonnegative edge cost ce on the edges, a set of facilities F V , a set of demands, i.e., cl...

Approximation Algorithms for Partial Covering Problems
We study the generalization of covering problems to partial covering. Here we wish to cover only a desired number of elements, rather than covering all elements as in standard cov...

Approximation algorithms via contraction decomposition
We prove that the edges of every graph of bounded (Euler) genus can be partitioned into any prescribed number k of pieces such that contracting any piece results in a graph of bou...

An efficient approximation algorithm for the survivable network design problem
The survivable network design problem (SNDP) is to construct a minimum-cost subgraph satisfying certain given edge-connectivity requirements. The first polynomial-time approximati...
