We propose a quasi-greedy algorithm for approximating the classical uncapacitated 2-level facility location problem (2-LFLP). Our algorithm, unlike the standard greedy algorithm, ...
Covering and packing integer programs model a large family of combinatorial optimization problems. The current-best approximation algorithms for these are an instance of the basic...
We study the approximability and inapproximability of finding identifying codes and locating-dominating codes of the minimum size. In general graphs, we show that it is possible ...
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...
We present an NC approximation algorithm for the weighted matching problem in graphs with an approximation ratio of (1 - ). This improves the previously best approximation ratio of...
