On the Complexity of Approximating TSP with Neighborhoods and Related Problems
We prove that various geometric covering problems, related to the Travelling Salesman Problem cannot be efficiently approximated to within any constant factor unless P = NP. This ...

Polynomial time approximation schemes for minimum disk cover problems
The following planar minimum disk cover problem is considered in this paper: given a set D of n disks and a set P of m points in the Euclidean plane, where each disk covers a subse...

A 2-approximation for the preceding-and-crossing structured 2-interval pattern problem
The 2-interval pattern problem over its various models and restrictions was proposed by Vialette (2004) for the application of RNA secondary structure prediction. We present an O(n...
