Approximation Schemes for Euclidean k-Medians and Related Problems
In the k-median problem we are given a set S of n points in a metric space and a positive integer k. We desire to locate k medians in space, such that the sum of the distances fro...

Approximation Bounds for a General Class of Precedence Constrained Parallel Machine Scheduling Problems
Abstract. A well studied and difficult class of scheduling problems concerns parallel machines and precedence constraints. In order to model more realistic situations, we consider ...

Fast approximation of the permanent for very dense problems
Approximation of the permanent of a matrix with nonnegative entries is a well studied problem. The most successful approach to date for general matrices uses Markov chains to appr...

An improved approximation ratio for the minimum linear arrangement problem
We observe that combining the techniques of Arora, Rao, and Vazirani, with the rounding algorithm of Rao and Richa yields an O( √ log n log log n)-approximation for the minimum-...
