A Polynomial Time Approximation Scheme for the Square Packing Problem
Given a set Q of squares with positive pro ts, the square packing problem is to select and pack a subset of squares of maximum pro t into a rectangular bin R. We present a polynomi...

Approximation Algorithms for Flexible Job Shop Problems
The Flexible Job Shop problem is a generalization of the classical job shop scheduling problem in which for every operation there is a group of machines that can process it. The p...

Approximating connected facility location problems via random facility sampling and core detouring
We present a simple randomized algorithmic framework for connected facility location problems. The basic idea is as follows: We run a black-box approximation algorithm for the unc...

An approximation algorithm for the fault tolerant metric facility location problem
We consider a fault tolerant version of the metric facility location problem in which every city, j, is required to be connected to rj facilities. We give the first non-trivial ap...
