Approximation Algorithms for Orienteering and Discounted-Reward TSP
In this paper, we give the rst constant-factor approximationalgorithmfor the rooted Orienteering problem, as well as a new problem that we call the Discounted-Reward TSP, motivate...

Approximation algorithms for allocation problems: Improving the factor of 1 - 1/e
Combinatorial allocation problems require allocating items to players in a way that maximizes the total utility. Two such problems received attention recently, and were addressed ...

Robust cost colorings
We consider graph coloring problems where the cost of a coloring is the sum of the costs of the colors, and the cost of a color is a monotone concave function of the total weight ...

Constant Ratio Fixed-Parameter Approximation of the Edge Multicut Problem
Abstract. The input of the Edge Multicut problem consists of an undirected graph G and pairs of terminals {s1, t1}, . . . , {sm, tm}; the task is to remove a minimum set of edges s...

Approximating the cut-norm via Grothendieck's inequality
The cut-norm ||A||C of a real matrix A = (aij)iR,jS is the maximum, over all I R, J S of the quantity | iI,jJ aij|. This concept plays a major role in the design of efficient app...
