Approximation Algorithms for Single-minded Envy-free Profit-maximization Problems with Limited Supply
We present the first polynomial-time approximation algorithms for single-minded envy-free profit-maximization problems [13] with limited supply. Our algorithms return a pricing sc...

Iterative Rounding for Multi-Objective Optimization Problems
In this paper we show that iterative rounding is a powerful and flexible tool in the design of approximation algorithms for multiobjective optimization problems. We illustrate tha...

Approximation Algorithms for Multi-Criteria Traveling Salesman Problems
In multi-criteria optimization, several objective functions are to be optimized. Since the different objective functions are usually in conflict with each other, one cannot conside...

An Improved Approximation Bound for Spanning Star Forest and Color Saving
We present a simple algorithm for the maximum spanning star forest problem. We take advantage of the fact that the problem is a special case of complementary set cover and we adapt...
