Identifying Codes and Covering Problems
The identifying code problem for a given graph involves finding a minimum set of vertices whose neighborhoods uniquely overlap at any given graph vertex. Initially introduced in 1...

A PTAS for a Disc Covering Problem Using Width-Bounded Separators
In this paper, we study the following disc covering problem: Given a set of discs of various radii on the plane, find a subset of discs to maximize the area covered by exactly on...

Tight Results on Minimum Entropy Set Cover
In the minimum entropy set cover problem, one is given a collection of k sets which collectively cover an n-element ground set. A feasible solution of the problem is a partition o...

Local PTAS for Independent Set and Vertex Cover in Location Aware Unit Disk Graphs
We present the first local approximation schemes for maximum independent set and minimum vertex cover in unit disk graphs. In the graph model we assume that each node knows its geo...

Approximation algorithms for homogeneous polynomial optimization with quadratic constraints
In this paper, we consider approximation algorithms for optimizing a generic multi-variate homogeneous polynomial function, subject to homogeneous quadratic constraints. Such opti...
