Approximation Complexity of min-max (Regret) Versions of Shortest Path, Spanning Tree, and Knapsack
This paper investigates, for the first time in the literature, the approximation of min-max (regret) versions of classical problems like shortest path, minimum spanning tree, and ...

On the construction of data aggregation tree with minimum energy cost in wireless sensor networks: NP-completeness and approxima
—In many applications, it is a basic operation for the sink to periodically collect reports from all sensors. Since the data gathering process usually proceeds for many rounds, i...

Improved Approximation Algorithms for the Spanning Star Forest Problem
A star graph is a tree of diameter at most two. A star forest is a graph that consists of node-disjoint star graphs. In the spanning star forest problem, given an unweighted graph ...

Approximation Algorithms for the Bottleneck Stretch Factor Problem
The stretch factor of a Euclidean graph is the maximum ratio of the distance in the graph between any two points and their Euclidean distance. Given a set S of n points in Rd, we ...
