What About Wednesday? Approximation Algorithms for Multistage Stochastic Optimization
The field of stochastic optimization studies decision making under uncertainty, when only probabilistic information about the future is available. Finding approximate solutions to...

Approximating the Generalized Capacitated Tree-Routing Problem
In this paper, we introduce the generalized capacitated tree-routing problem (GCTR), which is described as follows. Given a connected graph G = (V, E) with a sink s V and a set M...

An Improved LP-based Approximation for Steiner Tree
The Steiner tree problem is one of the most fundamental ÆÈ-hard problems: given a weighted undirected graph and a subset of terminal nodes, find a minimum weight tree spanning ...

Approximation Algorithms for Partial Covering Problems
We study the generalization of covering problems to partial covering. Here we wish to cover only a desired number of elements, rather than covering all elements as in standard cov...

A constant-factor approximation for stochastic Steiner forest
We consider the stochastic Steiner forest problem: suppose we were given a collection of Steiner forest instances, and were guaranteed that a random one of these instances would a...
