Approximation algorithms for the 0-extension problem
In the 0-extension problem, we are given a weighted graph with some nodes marked as terminals and a semimetric on the set of terminals. Our goal is to assign the rest of the nodes ...

Near optimal online algorithms and fast approximation algorithms for resource allocation problems
We present algorithms for a class of resource allocation problems both in the online setting with stochastic input and in the offline setting. This class of problems contains man...

New Approximation-Based Local Search Algorithms for the Probabilistic Traveling Salesman Problem
In this paper we present new local search algorithms for the Probabilistic Traveling Salesman Problem (PTSP) using sampling and ad-hoc approximation. These algorithms improve both...

Ant Colony Programming for Approximation Problems
Abstract. A method of automatic programming, called genetic programming, assumes that the desired program is found by using a genetic algorithm. We propose an idea of ant colony pr...

Faster approximation algorithms for the minimum latency problem
We give a 7.18-approximation algorithm for the minimum latency problem that uses only O(n log n) calls to the prize-collecting Steiner tree (PCST) subroutine of Goemans and Willia...
