Approximation Schemes for Euclidean k-Medians and Related Problems
In the k-median problem we are given a set S of n points in a metric space and a positive integer k. We desire to locate k medians in space, such that the sum of the distances fro...

Approximation of min-max and min-max regret versions of some combinatorial optimization problems
This paper investigates, for the first time in the literature, the approximation of minmax (regret) versions of classical problems like shortest path, minimum spanning tree, and ...

Symmetric approximate linear programming for factored MDPs with application to constrained problems
A weakness of classical Markov decision processes (MDPs) is that they scale very poorly due to the flat state-space representation. Factored MDPs address this representational pro...

A 2.5-Factor Approximation Algorithm for the k-MST Problem
The k-MST problem requires finding that subset of at least k vertices of a given graph whose Minimum Spanning Tree has least weight amongst all subsets of at least k vertices. Th...
