Counting Stars and Other Small Subgraphs in Sublinear Time
Detecting and counting the number of copies of certain subgraphs (also known as network motifs or graphlets), is motivated by applications in a variety of areas ranging from Biolo...

Approximation Algorithms for Multi-Criteria Traveling Salesman Problems
In multi-criteria optimization, several objective functions are to be optimized. Since the different objective functions are usually in conflict with each other, one cannot conside...

Approximating the k-traveling repairman problem with repairtimes
Given an undirected graph G = (V,E) and a source vertex s ∈ V , the k-traveling repairman (KTR) problem, also known as the minimum latency problem, asks for k tours, each starti...

Stochastic Optimization is (Almost) as easy as Deterministic Optimization
Stochastic optimization problems attempt to model uncertainty in the data by assuming that (part of) the input is specified in terms of a probability distribution. We consider the...
