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 Schemes for Steiner Forest on Planar Graphs and Graphs of Bounded Treewidth
We give the first polynomial-time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the Steiner forest problem on planar graphs and, more generally, on graphs of bounded genus. As a first step, w...

On Computational Complexity of Counting Fixed Points in Symmetric Boolean Graph Automata
Abstract. We study computational complexity of counting the fixed point configurations (FPs) in certain classes of graph automata viewed as discrete dynamical systems. We prove t...

Sublinear-Time Approximation for Clustering Via Random Sampling
Abstract. In this paper we present a novel analysis of a random sampling approach for three clustering problems in metric spaces: k-median, min-sum kclustering, and balanced k-medi...
