Multi-coloring Trees
Scheduling jobs with pairwise conflicts is modeled by the graph multicoloring problem. It occurs in two versions: in the preemptive case, each vertex may get any set of colors, w...

Approximation Algorithms for Non-Uniform Buy-at-Bulk Network Design
We consider approximation algorithms for non-uniform buy-at-bulk network design problems. The first nontrivial approximation algorithm for this problem is due to Charikar and Kar...

On cooperative patrolling: optimal trajectories, complexity analysis, and approximation algorithms
—The subject of this work is the patrolling of an environment with the aid of a team of autonomous agents. We consider both the design of open-loop trajectories with optimal prop...

Cluster Tree Elimination for Distributed Constraint Optimization with Quality Guarantees
Some distributed constraint optimization algorithms use a linear number of messages in the number of agents, but of exponential size. This is often the main limitation for their pr...

Approximate Nearest Subspace Search with Applications to Pattern Recognition
Linear and affine subspaces are commonly used to describe appearance of objects under different lighting, viewpoint, articulation, and identity. A natural problem arising from the...
