A Faster, Better Approximation Algorithm for the Minimum Latency Problem
We give a 7.18-approximation algorithm for the minimum latency problem that uses only O(n log n) calls to the prize-collecting Steiner tree (PCST) subroutine of Goemans and Willia...

Polyploids, genome halving and phylogeny
Autopolyploidization and allopolyploidization events multiply the number of chromosomes and genomic content. Genome rearrangement phylogenetics requires that all genomes analyzed ...

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...

Approximation algorithms via contraction decomposition
We prove that the edges of every graph of bounded (Euler) genus can be partitioned into any prescribed number k of pieces such that contracting any piece results in a graph of bou...

A Sublinear-Time Randomized Approximation Scheme for the Robinson-Foulds Metric
The Robinson-Foulds (RF) metric is the measure most widely used in comparing phylogenetic trees; it can be computed in linear time using Day's algorithm. When faced with the n...
