A Polynomial Time Approximation Scheme for Minimum Routing Cost Spanning Trees
Given an undirected graph with nonnegative costs on the edges, the routing cost of any of its spanning trees is the sum over all pairs of vertices of the cost of the path between t...

Hybrid rounding techniques for knapsack problems
We address the classical knapsack problem and a variant in which an upper bound is imposed on the number of items that can be selected. We show that appropriate combinations of ro...

Fully polynomial time approximation schemes for stochastic dynamic programs
We develop a framework for obtaining Fully Polynomial Time Approximation Schemes (FPTASs) for stochastic univariate dynamic programs with either convex or monotone single-period c...

Fast fully polynomial approximation schemes for minimizing completion time variance
Abstract. We present fully polynomial approximation schemes for the problem of minimizing completion time variance of a set of n jobs on a single machine. The fastest of these sche...

Grouping Techniques for Scheduling Problems: Simpler and Faster
In this paper we describe a general grouping technique to devise faster and simpler approximation schemes for several scheduling problems. We illustrate the technique on two diff...
