Approximation Algorithms for Data Placement Problems
We develop approximation algorithms for the problem of placing replicated data in arbitrary networks, where the nodes may both issue requests for data objects and have capacity fo...

A faster implementation of the Goemans-Williamson clustering algorithm
We give an implementation of the Goemans-Williamson clustering procedure which is at the core of several approximation algorithms including those for Generalized Steiner Trees, Pr...

How Well Can Primal-Dual and Local-Ratio Algorithms Perform?
We define an algorithmic paradigm, the stack model, that captures many primal-dual and local-ratio algorithms for approximating covering and packing problems. The stack model is ...

Analysis of greedy approximations with nonsubmodular potential functions
In this paper, we present two techniques to analyze greedy approximation with nonsubmodular functions restricted submodularity and shifted submodularity. As an application of the ...
