Approximating the Minimum Number of Maximum Power Users in Ad Hoc Networks
Topology control is the problem of assigning transmission power values to the nodes of an ad hoc network so that the induced graph satisfies some specified property. The most fun...

Deterministic Approximation Algorithms for the Nearest Codeword Problem
The Nearest Codeword Problem (NCP) is a basic algorithmic question in the theory of error-correcting codes. Given a point v ∈ Fn 2 and a linear space L ⊆ Fn 2 of dimension k NC...
