We consider optimization problems that can be formulated as minimizing the cost of a feasible solution wT x over an arbitrary combinatorial feasible set F {0, 1}n . For these pro...
The closest substring problem, where a short string is sought that minimizes the number of mismatches between it and each of a given set of strings, is a minimization problem with ...
Abstract. We present new approximation schemes for various classical problems of finding the minimum-weight spanning subgraph in edge-weighted undirected planar graphs that are re...
Abstract. We describe fully polynomial time approximation schemes for generalized multicommodity flow problems arising in VLSI applications such as Global Routing via Buffer Block...
