The minimum latency problem (MLP) is a well-studied variant of the traveling salesman problem (TSP). In the MLP, the server's goal is to minimize the average latency that the...
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...
A star graph is a tree of diameter at most two. A star forest is a graph that consists of node-disjoint star graphs. In the spanning star forest problem, given an unweighted graph ...

Previous work on the partial Latin square extension (PLSE) problem resulted in a 2-approximation algorithm based on the LP relaxation of a three-dimensional assignment IP formulat...
Combinatorial allocation problems require allocating items to players in a way that maximizes the total utility. Two such problems received attention recently, and were addressed ...
