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...

Minimizing the Cost of Mine Selection Via Sensor Networks
— In this paper, we study sensor enabled landmine networks by formulating a minimum-cost mine selection problem. The problem arises in a target defence scenario, where the object...

Greedy Approximation via Duality for Packing, Combinatorial Auctions and Routing
We study simple greedy approximation algorithms for general class of integer packing problems. We provide a novel analysis based on the duality theory of linear programming. This e...

Sketching and Streaming Entropy via Approximation Theory
We give near-optimal sketching and streaming algorithms for estimating Shannon entropy in the most general streaming model, with arbitrary insertions and deletions. This improves ...
