On the approximability of two tree drawing conventions
We consider two aesthetic criteria for the visualization of rooted trees: inclusion and tip-over. Finding the minimum area layout according to either of these two standards is an ...

The Complexity of Flood Filling Games
We study the complexity of the popular one player combinatorial game known as Flood-It. In this game the player is given an n×n board of tiles where each tile is allocated one of ...

Approximability and Nonapproximability Results for Minimizing Total Flow Time on a Single Machine
We consider the problem of scheduling n jobs that are released over time on a single machine in order to minimize the total ow time. This problem is well-known to be NPcomplete, a...

Approximation Algorithms for the Sex-Equal Stable Marriage Problem
The stable marriage problem is a classical matching problem introduced by Gale and Shapley. It is known that for any instance, there exists a solution, and there is a polynomial ti...
