A Faster, Better Approximation Algorithm for the Minimum Latency Problem
We give a 7.18-approximation algorithm for the minimum latency problem that uses only O(n log n) calls to the prize-collecting Steiner tree (PCST) subroutine of Goemans and Willia...

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...

Approximation algorithms and online mechanisms for item pricing
We present approximation and online algorithms for a number of problems of pricing items for sale so as to maximize seller’s revenue in an unlimited supply setting. Our first r...

A note on the precedence-constrained class sequencing problem
We give a short proof of a result of Tovey [6] on the inapproximability of a scheduling problem known as precedence constrained class sequencing. In addition, we present an approxi...

Approximation algorithms for the 0-extension problem
In the 0-extension problem, we are given a weighted graph with some nodes marked as terminals and a semimetric on the set of terminals. Our goal is to assign the rest of the nodes ...
