Faster Approximation of Distances in Graphs
Let G = (V, E) be an weighted undirected graph on n vertices and m edges, and let dG be its shortest path metric. We present two simple deterministic algorithms for approximating ...

On Bin Packing with Conflicts
Abstract. We consider the offline and online versions of a bin packing problem called bin packing with conflicts. Given a set of items V = {1, 2, . . . , n} with sizes s1, s2 . . ....

Submodular Approximation: Sampling-based Algorithms and Lower Bounds
We introduce several generalizations of classical computer science problems obtained by replacing simpler objective functions with general submodular functions. The new problems i...

A Primal-Dual Approximation Algorithm for Partial Vertex Cover: Making Educated Guesses
We study the partial vertex cover problem. Given a graph G = (V, E), a weight function w : V → R+ , and an integer s, our goal is to cover all but s edges, by picking a set of v...
