Facility location with hierarchical facility costs
We introduce a facility location problem with submodular facility cost functions, and give an O(log n) approximation algorithm for it. Then we focus on a special case of submodula...

On the Complexity of Approximating TSP with Neighborhoods and Related Problems
We prove that various geometric covering problems, related to the Travelling Salesman Problem cannot be efficiently approximated to within any constant factor unless P = NP. This ...

Robust Monitoring of Link Delays and Faults in IP Networks
Abstract – In this paper, we develop failure-resilient techniques for monitoring link delays and faults in a Service Provider or Enterprise IP network. Our two-phased approach at...

Approximate Characterizations for the Gaussian Source Broadcast Distortion Region
We consider the joint source-channel coding problem of sending a Gaussian source over a K-user Gaussian broadcast channel with bandwidth mismatch. A new outer bound to the achieva...

The Shortest Vector in a Lattice is Hard to Approximate to Within Some Constant
We show that approximating the shortest vector problem (in any p norm) to within any constant factor less than p 2 is hard for NP under reverse unfaithful random reductions with i...
