Approximation Algorithms for Multicommodity-Type Problems with Guarantees Independent of the Graph Size
— Linial, London and Rabinovich [16] and Aumann and Rabani [3] proved that the min-cut max-flow ratio for general maximum concurrent flow problems (when there are k commodities...

Hardness and Approximation of the Survivable Multi-Level Fat Tree Problem
—With the explosive deployment of “triple play” (voice, video and data services) over the same access network, guaranteeing a certain-level of survivability for the access ne...

Quality of LP-Based Approximations for Highly Combinatorial Problems
We study the quality of LP-based approximation methods for pure combinatorial problems. We found that the quality of the LPrelaxation is a direct function of the underlying constra...

Fast Approximate PCPs for Multidimensional Bin-Packing Problems
Abstract. We consider approximate PCPs for multidimensional bin-packing problems. In particular, we show how a verifier can be quickly convinced that a set of multidimensional blo...

A new approximation algorithm for the multilevel facility location problem
In this paper we propose a new integer programming formulation for the multilevel facility location problem and a novel 3-approximation algorithm based on LP rounding. The linear ...
