Distributed Approximation Algorithms for Weighted Problems in Minor-Closed Families
We give efficient distributed approximation algorithms for weighted versions of the maximum matching problem and the minimum dominating set problem for graphs from minor-closed fam...

Farthest Centroids Divisive Clustering
A method is presented to partition a given set of data entries embedded in Euclidean space by recursively bisecting clusters into smaller ones. The initial set is subdivided into ...

On the Approximability of the Steiner Tree Problem
We show that it is not possible to approximate the minimum Steiner tree problem within 1 + 1 162 unless RP = NP. The currently best known lower bound is 1 + 1 400. The reduction i...

Approximability of Minimum AND-Circuits
Given a set of monomials, the Minimum AND-Circuit problem asks for a circuit that computes these monomials using AND-gates of fan-in two and being of minimum size. We prove that t...

Approximation Algorithms for the Loop Cutset Problem
We show how to nd a minimum weight loop cutset in a Bayesian network with high probability. Finding such a loop cutset is the rst step in the method of conditioning for inference....
