Connected Vertex Cover Problem (CVC) is an NP-hard problem. The currently best known approximation algorithm for CVC has performance ration 2. This paper gives the first Polynomial...
—We study how to characterize the families of paths between any two nodes s, t in a sensor network with holes. Two paths that can be deformed to one another through local changes...

We consider an APX-hard variant (∆-Max-ATSP) and an APX-hard relaxation (Max-3-DCC) of the classical traveling salesman problem. We present a 31 40-approximation algorithm for â...
Arpe and Manthey [Algorithmica’09] recently studied the minimum ANDcircuit problem, which is a circuit minimization problem, and showed some results including approximation algo...
In this paper we consider both the maximization variant Max Rep and the minimization variant Min Rep of the famous Label Cover problem, for which, till now, the best approximation ...
