We study the online version of the Prize-Collecting Traveling Salesman Problem (PCTSP), a generalization of the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP). In the TSP, the salesman has to v...
Abstract. A strong vertex coloring of a hypergraph assigns distinct colors to vertices that are contained in a common hyperedge. This captures many previously studied graph colorin...
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...
We establish several approximate max-integral-flow / minmulticut theorems. While in general this ratio can be very large, we prove strong approximation ratios in the case where th...
We propose a model called priority branching trees (pBT ) for backtracking and dynamic programming algorithms. Our model generalizes both the priority model of Borodin, Nielson an...
