Approximation algorithm for minimal convergecast time problem in wireless sensor networks
In this paper we consider how to collect data from sensors deployed in the Euclidean plane in a timeefficient way. We assume that all sensors could adjust their transmission range...

Symmetry and Approximability of Submodular Maximization Problems
Abstract— A number of recent results on optimization problems involving submodular functions have made use of the ”multilinear relaxation” of the problem [3], [8], [24], [14]...

A Linear Time Approximation Algorithm for Ruler Folding Problem
: A chain or n-link is a sequence of n links whose lengths are fixed and are joined together from their endpoints, free to turn about their endpoints, which act as joints. "Ru...

Approximating Weighted Max-SAT Problems by Compensating for Relaxations
We introduce a new approach to approximating weighted Max-SAT problems that is based on simplifying a given instance, and then tightening the approximation. First, we relax its str...
