Abstract. In this paper we introduce a new technique for approximation schemes for geometrical optimization problems. As an example problem, we consider the following variant of th...
Abstract. In this paper, we propose a general framework for designing fully polynomial time approximation schemes for combinatorial optimization problems, in which more than one ob...
We obtain a polynomial time approximation scheme for the terrain guarding problem improving upon several recent constant factor approximations. Our algorithm is a local search algo...

We present a new polynomial time approximation scheme (PTAS) for tree alignment, which is an important variant of multiple sequence alignment. As in the existing PTASs in the liter...
—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...
