Approximating Some Network Design Problems with Node Costs
We study several multi-criteria undirected network design problems with node costs and lengths. All these problems are related to the Multicommodity Buy at Bulk (MBB) problem in w...

An efficient approximation algorithm for the survivable network design problem
The survivable network design problem (SNDP) is to construct a minimum-cost subgraph satisfying certain given edge-connectivity requirements. The first polynomial-time approximati...

Hierarchical Placement and Network Design Problems
In this paper, we give the first constant-approximations for a number of layered network design problems. We begin by modeling hierarchical caching, where caches are placed in la...

Approximate Integer Decompositions for Undirected Network Design Problems
A well-known theorem of Nash-Williams and Tutte gives a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of k edge-disjoint spanning trees in an undirected graph. A corollary o...

Symmetry and Search in a Network Design Problem
Abstract. An optimization problem arising in the design of optical fibre networks is discussed. A network contains client nodes, each installed on one or more SONET rings. A const...
