Approximating the Minimum Spanning Tree Weight in Sublinear Time
We present a probabilistic algorithm that, given a connected graph G (represented by adjacency lists) of average degree d, with edge weights in the set {1, . . . , w}, and given a ...

Network Design via Core Detouring for Problems without a Core
Some of the currently best-known approximation algorithms for network design are based on random sampling. One of the key steps of such algorithms is connecting a set of source nod...

Approximation Algorithms for Forests Augmentation Ensuring Two Disjoint Paths of Bounded Length
Given a forest F = (V, E) and a positive integer D, we consider the problem of finding a minimum number of new edges E such that in the augmented graph H = (V, E∪E ) any pair of...

Sub-optimality Approximations
Abstract. The sub-optimality approximation problem considers an optimization problem O, its optimal solution σ∗ , and a variable x with domain {d1, . . . , dm} and returns appro...
