A dynamic programming algorithm for days-off scheduling with sequence dependent labor costs
This paper presents a dynamic programming (DP) algorithm for solving a labor scheduling problem with several realistic days-off scheduling constraints and a cost structure that dep...

On the Complexity of Approximating the VC Dimension
We study the complexity of approximating the VC dimension of a collection of sets, when the sets are encoded succinctly by a small circuit. We show that this problem is • Σp 3-...

New primal-dual algorithms for Steiner tree problems
We present new primal-dual algorithms for several network design problems. The problems considered are the generalized Steiner tree problem (GST), the directed Steiner tree proble...

Near-linear approximation algorithms for geometric hitting sets
Given a set system (X, R), the hitting set problem is to find a smallest-cardinality subset H ⊆ X, with the property that each range R ∈ R has a non-empty intersection with H...
