Approximation algorithms for connected facility location problems
We study Connected Facility Location problems. We are given a connected graph G = (V, E) with nonnegative edge cost ce for each edge e E, a set of clients D V such that each cli...

Solving multistage asset investment problems by the sample average approximation method
The vast size of real world stochastic programming instances requires sampling to make them practically solvable. In this paper we extend the understanding of how sampling affects ...

Improved Primal-Dual Approximation Algorithm for the Connected Facility Location Problem
In the Connected Facility Location(ConFL) problem, we are given a graph G = (V, E) with nonnegative edge cost ce on the edges, a set of facilities F V , a set of demands, i.e., cl...

Combination Can Be Hard: Approximability of the Unique Coverage Problem
We prove semi-logarithmic inapproximability for a maximization problem called unique coverage: given a collection of sets, find a subcollection that maximizes the number of elemen...
