Faster Algorithms for All-pairs Approximate Shortest Paths in Undirected Graphs
Let G = (V, E) be a weighted undirected graph having non-negative edge weights. An estimate ˆδ(u, v) of the actual distance δ(u, v) between u, v ∈ V is said to be of stretch t...

A Pseudopolynomial Time O (log n )-Approximation Algorithm for Art Gallery Problems
In this paper, we give a O(log copt)-approximation algorithm for the point guard problem where copt is the optimal number of guards. Our algorithm runs in time polynomial in n, the...
