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...

Linear time approximation schemes for the Gale-Berlekamp game and related minimization problems
We design a linear time approximation scheme for the GaleBerlekamp Switching Game and generalize it to a wider class of dense fragile minimization problems including the Nearest C...

Lower bounds for the relative greedy algorithm for approximating Steiner trees
Abstract. The Steiner tree problem is to find a shortest subgraph that spans a given set of vertices in a graph. This problem is known to be NP-hard and it is well known that a pol...

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...
