A well-known theorem of Nash-Williams and Tutte gives a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of k edge-disjoint spanning trees in an undirected graph. A corollary o...
We consider the class of max-min and min-max optimization problems subject to a global budget (or weight) constraint and we undertake a systematic algorithmic and complexitytheore...

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...

The general problem of robust optimization is this: one of several possible scenarios will appear tomorrow, but things are more expensive tomorrow than they are today. What should...
In this paper, we present two techniques to analyze greedy approximation with nonsubmodular functions restricted submodularity and shifted submodularity. As an application of the ...
