A polynomial time approximation scheme for timing constrained minimum cost layer assignment
Abstract— As VLSI technology enters the nanoscale regime, interconnect delay becomes the bottleneck of circuit performance. Compared to gate delays, wires are becoming increasing...

A Polynomial-Time Approximation Scheme for Euclidean Steiner Forest
We give a randomized O(n polylog n)-time approximation scheme for the Steiner forest problem in the Euclidean plane. For every fixed ǫ > 0 and given n terminals in the plane ...

Polynomial-Time Approximation Schemes for Subset-Connectivity Problems in Bounded-Genus Graphs
We present the first polynomial-time approximation schemes (PTASes) for the following subset-connectivity problems in edge-weighted graphs of bounded genus: Steiner tree, low-conn...

A Polynomial Time Approximation Scheme for Minimum Routing Cost Spanning Trees
Given an undirected graph with nonnegative costs on the edges, the routing cost of any of its spanning trees is the sum over all pairs of vertices of the cost of the path between t...

A Polynomial-Time Approximation Algorithm for a Geometric Dispersion Problem
We consider the problem of placing a set of disks in a region containing obstacles such that no two disks intersect. We are given a bounding polygon P and a set R of possibly inte...
