An Almost Linear Time 2.8334-Approximation Algorithm for the Disc Covering Problem
The disc covering problem asks to cover a set of points on the plane with a minimum number of fix-sized discs. We develop an O(n(log n)2 (log log n)2 ) deterministic time 2.8334-a...

Weighted Coloring on Planar, Bipartite and Split Graphs: Complexity and Improved Approximation
We study complexity and approximation of min weighted node coloring in planar, bipartite and split graphs. We show that this problem is NP-complete in planar graphs, even if they a...

A Polynomial-Time Approximation Algorithm for a Geometric Dispersion Problem
We consider the problem of placing a set of disks in a region containing obstacles such that no two disks intersect. We are given a bounding polygon P and a set R of possibly inte...

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...

Weighted Voting as Approximate MAP Prediction in Pairwise Classification
Weighted voting is the commonly used strategy for combining predictions in pairwise classification. Even though it shows excellent performance in practice, it is often criticized ...
