We revisit a problem introduced by Bharat and Broder almost a decade ago: how to sample random pages from the corpus of documents indexed by a search engine, using only the search...
Trapezoid graphs are a class of cocomparability graphs containing interval graphs and permutation graphs as subclasses. They were introduced by Dagan, Golumbic and Pinter DGP]. Th...
In multi-criteria optimization, several objective functions are to be optimized. Since the different objective functions are usually in conflict with each other, one cannot conside...
This paper deals with approximation algorithms for the prize collecting generalized Steiner forest problem, defined as follows. The input is an undirected graph G = (V, E), a colle...
Abstract Abstract. Recent work in the analysis of randomized approximation algorithms for NP-hard optimization problems has involved approximating the solution to a problem by the ...
