We present new combinatorial approximation algorithms for k-set cover. Previous approaches are based on extending the greedy algorithm by efficiently handling small sets. The new a...

This article is interested in the problem of the linguistic content of a speech corpus. Depending on the target task, the phonological and linguistic content of the corpus is cont...
We consider a scenario where stops are to be placed along an already existing public transportation network in order to improve its attractiveness for the customers. The core probl...
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...
—Protein identification is a key and essential step in mass spectrometry (MS) based proteome research. To date, there are many protein identification strategies that employ eithe...
