A 2.5-Factor Approximation Algorithm for the k-MST Problem
The k-MST problem requires finding that subset of at least k vertices of a given graph whose Minimum Spanning Tree has least weight amongst all subsets of at least k vertices. Th...

A factor 1/2 approximation algorithm for two-stage stochastic matching problems
We introduce the two-stage stochastic maximum-weight matching problem and demonstrate that this problem is NP-complete. We give a factor 1 2 approximation algorithm and prove its ...

A Constant-Factor Approximation Algorithm for the k-Median Problem
We present the first constant-factor approximation algorithm for the metric k-median problem. The k-median problem is one of the most well-studied clustering problems, i.e., those...

Approximation algorithms for allocation problems: Improving the factor of 1 - 1/e
Combinatorial allocation problems require allocating items to players in a way that maximizes the total utility. Two such problems received attention recently, and were addressed ...
