Minimizing Movement in Mobile Facility Location Problems
In the mobile facility location problem, which is a variant of the classical Uncapacitated Facility Location and kMedian problems, each facility and client is assigned to a start ...

A Fast 5/2-Approximation Algorithm for Hierarchical Scheduling
We present in this article a new approximation algorithm for scheduling a set of n independent rigid (meaning requiring a fixed number of processors) jobs on hierarchical parallel ...

Facility location: distributed approximation
In this paper, we initiate the study of the approximability of the facility location problem in a distributed setting. In particular, we explore a trade-off between the amount of...
