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...

Some Algorithmic Improvements for the Containment Problem of Conjunctive Queries with Negation
Query containment is a fundamental problem of databases. Given two queries q1 and q2, it asks whether the set of answers to q1 is included in the set of answers to q2 for any datab...

A Local 2-Approximation Algorithm for the Vertex Cover Problem
We present a distributed 2-approximation algorithm for the minimum vertex cover problem. The algorithm is deterministic, and it runs in (∆ + 1)2 synchronous communication rounds,...

On Minimum Power Connectivity Problems
Given a (directed or undirected) graph with edge costs, the power of a node is the maximum cost of an edge leaving it, and the power of the graph is the sum of the powers of its n...

Hardness and approximation of minimum distortion embeddings
We show that the problem of computing a minimum distortion embedding of a given graph into a path remains NP-hard when the input graph is restricted to a bipartite, cobipartite, o...
