Thresholded Covering Algorithms for Robust and Max-min Optimization
The general problem of robust optimization is this: one of several possible scenarios will appear tomorrow, but things are more expensive tomorrow than they are today. What should...

Hardness of Approximating the Shortest Vector Problem in Lattices
Let p > 1 be any fixed real. We show that assuming NP RP, there is no polynomial time algorithm that approximates the Shortest Vector Problem (SVP) in p norm within a constant ...

A primal-dual schema based approximation algorithm for the element connectivity problem
The element connectivity problem falls in the category of survivable network design problems { it is intermediate to the versions that ask for edge-disjoint and vertex-disjoint pa...

Inapproximability of Survivable Networks
In the Survivable Network Design Problem (SNDP) one seeks to find a minimum cost subgraph that satisfies prescribed node-connectivity requirements. We give a novel approximation r...

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...
