Approximability and Fixed-Parameter Tractability for the Exemplar Genomic Distance Problems
In this paper, we present a survey of the approximability and fixed-parameter tractability results for some Exemplar Genomic Distance problems. We mainly focus on three problems: ...

On Approximating an Implicit Cover Problem in Biology
Abstract. In an implicit combinatorial optimization problem, the constraints are not enumerated explicitly but rather stated implicitly through equations, other constraints or auxi...

On the average case performance of some greedy approximation algorithms for the uncapacitated facility location problem
In combinatorial optimization, a popular approach to NP-hard problems is the design of approximation algorithms. These algorithms typically run in polynomial time and are guarante...

Differential approximation results for the traveling salesman and related problems
This paper deals with the problem of constructing a Hamiltonian cycle of optimal weight, called TSP. We show that TSP is 2/3-differential approximable and can not be differential a...

An Approximation Algorithm for Weighted Weak Vertex Cover Problem in Undirected Graphs
The problem of efficiently monitoring the network flow is regarded as the one to find out the minimum weighted weak vertex cover set for a given graph G = (V, E) with weight func...
