The Densest k-subgraph problem (i.e. find a size k subgraph with maximum number of edges), is one of the notorious problems in approximation algorithms. There is a significant g...
In the Stochastic Orienteering problem, we are given a metric, where each node also has a job located there with some deterministic reward and a random size. (Think of the jobs as...
The following distributed coalescence protocol was introduced by Dahlia Malkhi in 2006 motivated by applications in social networking. Initially there are n agents wishing to coal...
We give the first linear kernels for DOMINATING SET and CONNECTED DOMINATING SET problems on graphs excluding a fixed graph H as a minor. In other words, we give polynomial time...

The problem of approximating convex bodies by polytopes is an important and well studied problem. Given a convex body K in Rd , the objective is to minimize the number of vertices...
