Computing longest duration flocks in trajectory data
Moving point object data can be analyzed through the discovery of patterns. We consider the computational efficiency of computing two of the most basic spatio-temporal patterns in...

Compact Location Problems
We investigate the complexity and approximability of some location problems when two distance values are specified for each pair of potential sites. These problems involve the se...

Primal-dual meets local search: approximating MST's with nonuniform degree bounds
We present a new bicriteria approximation algorithm for the degree-bounded minimum-cost spanning tree problem: Given an undirected graph with nonnegative edge weights and degree b...

Fairness and optimality in congestion games
We study two problems, that of computing social optimum and that of finding fair allocations, in the congestion game model of Milchtaich[8] Although we show that the general prob...
