Approximation Algorithms for Submodular Multiway Partition
Abstract— We study algorithms for the SUBMODULAR MULTIWAY PARTITION problem (SUB-MP). An instance of SUB-MP consists of a finite ground set V , a subset S = {s1, s2, . . . , sk}...

Hardness of the undirected congestion minimization problem
We show that there is no log log M log log log M -approximation for the undirected congestion minimization problem unless NP ZPTIME(npolylog n ), where M is the size of the grap...

Decision trees for entity identification: approximation algorithms and hardness results
We consider the problem of constructing decision trees for entity identification from a given relational table. The input is a table containing information about a set of entities...

Medical image segmentation via min s-t cuts with sides constraints
Graph cut algorithms (i.e., min s-t cuts) [3][10][15] are useful in many computer vision applications. In this paper we develop a formulation that allows the addition of side cons...

A PTAS for Cutting Out Polygons with Lines
We present a simple O(m+n6 / 12 ) time (1+ )-approximation algorithm for the problem of cutting a convex n-gon out of a convex m-gon with line cuts of minimum total cutting length....
