Parameterized approximation of dominating set problems
A problem open for many years is whether there is an FPT algorithm that given a graph G and parameter k, either: (1) determines that G has no k-Dominating Set, or (2) produces a do...

A Better Approximation Ratio for the Vertex Cover Problem
We reduce the approximation factor for Vertex Cover to 2 − Θ( 1√ log n ) (instead of the previous 2 − Θ(log log n log n ), obtained by Bar-Yehuda and Even [2], and by Moni...

Differential Approximation for Some Routing Problems
We study vehicle routing problems with constraints on the distance traveled by each vehicle or on the number of vehicles. The objective is to minimize the total distance traveled b...

Approximating the minimum clique cover and other hard problems in subtree filament graphs
Subtree filament graphs are the intersection graphs of subtree filaments in a tree. This class of graphs contains subtree overlap graphs, interval filament graphs, chordal graphs,...

Approximation Algorithms for Quickest Spanning Tree Problems
Let G = (V, E) be an undirected multi-graph with a special vertex root ∈ V , and where each edge e ∈ E is endowed with a length l(e) ≥ 0 and a capacity c(e) > 0. For a pa...
