Local algorithms in (weakly) coloured graphs
A local algorithm is a distributed algorithm that completes after a constant number of synchronous communication rounds. We present local approximation algorithms for the minimum ...

A Linear Time Approximation Algorithm for Ruler Folding Problem
: A chain or n-link is a sequence of n links whose lengths are fixed and are joined together from their endpoints, free to turn about their endpoints, which act as joints. "Ru...

Approximation Algorithms for Min-Max Generalization Problems
Abstract. We provide improved approximation algorithms for the minmax generalization problems considered by Du, Eppstein, Goodrich, and Lueker [1]. In min-max generalization proble...

A 2.5-Factor Approximation Algorithm for the k-MST Problem
The k-MST problem requires finding that subset of at least k vertices of a given graph whose Minimum Spanning Tree has least weight amongst all subsets of at least k vertices. Th...

Sublinear Algorithms for Approximating String Compressibility
We raise the question of approximating the compressibility of a string with respect to a fixed compression scheme, in sublinear time. We study this question in detail for two popu...
