Approximations for minimum and min-max vehicle routing problems
: We consider a variety of vehicle routing problems. The input to a problem consists of a graph G = (N, E) and edge lengths l(e) e E. Customers located at the vertices have to be ...

A Polynomial-Time Approximation Algorithm for a Geometric Dispersion Problem
We consider the problem of placing a set of disks in a region containing obstacles such that no two disks intersect. We are given a bounding polygon P and a set R of possibly inte...

A Stochastic Approximation Method to Compute Bid Prices in Network Revenue Management Problems
We present a stochastic approximation method to compute bid prices in network revenue management problems. The key idea is to visualize the total expected revenue as a function of...

How to Pay, Come What May: Approximation Algorithms for Demand-Robust Covering Problems
Robust optimization has traditionally focused on uncertainty in data and costs in optimization problems to formulate models whose solutions will be optimal in the worstcase among ...

Approximating the Stochastic Knapsack Problem: The Benefit of Adaptivity
We consider a stochastic variant of the NP-hard 0/1 knapsack problem in which item values are deterministic and item sizes are independent random variables with known, arbitrary d...
