A Partition-Based Relaxation For Steiner Trees
The Steiner tree problem is a classical NP-hard optimization problem with a wide range of practical applications. In an instance of this problem, we are given an undirected graph ...

Hierarchical Convex Approximation of 3D Shapes for Fast Region Selection
Given a 3D solid model S represented by a tetrahedral mesh, we describe a novel algorithm to compute a hierarchy of convex polyhedra that tightly enclose S. The hierarchy can be b...

Approximating the Bandwidth of Caterpillars
A caterpillar is a tree in which all vertices of degree three or more lie on one path, called the backbone. We present a polynomial time algorithm that produces a linear arrangeme...

A General Approximation Technique for Constrained Forest Problems
We present a general approximation technique for a large class of graph problems. Our technique mostly applies to problems of covering, at minimum cost, the vertices of a graph wit...

Improved Approximations for Multiprocessor Scheduling Under Uncertainty
This paper presents improved approximation algorithms for the problem of multiprocessor scheduling under uncertainty (SUU), in which the execution of each job may fail probabilist...
