Inapproximability Results for Combinatorial Auctions with Submodular Utility Functions
We consider the following allocation problem arising in the setting of combinatorial auctions: a set of goods is to be allocated to a set of players so as to maximize the sum of t...

Improved Results on Geometric Hitting Set Problems
We consider the problem of computing minimum geometric hitting sets in which, given a set of geometric objects and a set of points, the goal is to compute the smallest subset of p...

The Euclidean Orienteering Problem Revisited
We consider the rooted orienteering problem: Given a set P of n points in the plane, a starting point r P, and a length constraint B, one needs to find a path starting from r tha...

Incremental flow
This paper defines an incremental version of the maximum flow problem. In this model, the capacities increase over time and the resulting solution is a sequence of flows that b...

A Simple Linear-Time Modular Decomposition Algorithm for Graphs, Using Order Extension
The first polynomial time algorithm (O(n4 )) for modular decomposition appeared in 1972 [8] and since then there have been incremental improvements, eventually resulting in linear...
