Approximating the Crossing Number of Graphs Embeddable in Any Orientable Surface
The crossing number of a graph is the least number of pairwise edge crossings in a drawing of the graph in the plane. We provide an O(n log n) time constant factor approximation al...

Approximating min-max k-clustering
We consider the problems of set partitioning into k clusters with minimum total cost and minimum of the maximum cost of a cluster. The cost function is given by an oracle, and we ...

Stochastic Online Scheduling on Parallel Machines
We consider a non-preemptive, stochastic parallel machine scheduling model with the goal to minimize the weighted completion times of jobs. In contrast to the classical stochastic ...

Streaming Algorithms with One-Sided Estimation
Abstract. We study the space complexity of randomized streaming algorithms that provide one-sided approximation guarantees; e.g., the algorithm always returns an overestimate of th...

An On-Line Algorithm for Improving Performance in Navigation
We consider the following scenario. A point robot is placed at some start location ¡ in a 2dimensional scene containing oriented rectangular obstacles. The robot must repeatedly ...
