Abstract. We give logarithmic approximation algorithms for the nonmetric uncapacitated multicommodity and multilevel facility location problems. The former algorithms are optimal u...
— A facility location problem deals with locating the best place for a group of facilities, among distinct demand points, minimizing a certain locational optimization function. I...
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...
Abstract. This paper solves a static and transportation facility location allocation problem defined as follows: given a set of locations Loc and a set of demand objects D located ...
The visibility function in direct illumination describes the binary visibility over a light source, e.g., an environment map. Intuitively, the visibility is often strongly correla...
