We consider the problem of MaxMin allocation of indivisible goods. There are m items to be distributed among n players. Each player i has a nonnegative valuation pij for an item j...
A local algorithm is a distributed algorithm that completes after a constant number of synchronous communication rounds. We present local approximation algorithms for the minimum ...
We consider the variant of the minimum vertex cover problem in which we require that the cover induces a connected subgraph. We give new approximation results for this problem in d...
We study the generalization of covering problems to partial covering. Here we wish to cover only a desired number of elements, rather than covering all elements as in standard cov...
We prove that any one-pass streaming algorithm which ( , )-approximates the kth frequency moment Fk, for any real k = 1 and any = 1 m , must use 1 2 bits of space, where m is th...
