Improved Approximation Algorithms for Metric Max TSP
We present two polynomial-time approximation algorithms for the metric case of the maximum traveling salesman problem. One of them is for directed graphs and its approximation rat...

Improved Approximation of the Stable Marriage Problem
The stable marriage problem has recently been studied in its general setting, where both ties and incomplete lists are allowed. It is NP-hard to find a stable matching of maximum ...

Improved Approximation for the Directed Spanner Problem
We present an O( √ n log n)-approximation algorithm for the problem of finding the sparsest spanner of a given directed graph G on n vertices. A spanner of a graph is a sparse ...

On improving approximate solutions by evolutionary algorithms
Abstract—Hybrid methods are very popular for solving problems from combinatorial optimization. In contrast to this the theoretical understanding of the interplay of different opt...

An improved constant-time approximation algorithm for maximum~matchings
This paper studies constant-time approximation algorithms for problems on degree-bounded graphs. Let n and d be the number of vertices and the degree bound, respectively. This pap...
