We study the problem of scheduling unit size jobs on n processors connected by a ring. We show a distributed algorithm for this problem with an approximation ratio of 3 2 + √ 2....
In this paper, we study the problem of computing the similarity of two protein structures ring their contact-map overlap. Contact-map overlap abstracts the problem of computing th...
Orienteering is the following optimization problem: given an edge-weighted graph (directed or undirected), two nodes s, t and a time limit T, find an s-t walk of total length at ...
We present a simple family of algorithms for solving the Generalized Assignment Problem (GAP). Our technique is based on a novel combinatorial translation of any algorithm for the...
We present an NC approximation algorithm for the weighted matching problem in graphs with an approximation ratio of (1 - ). This improves the previously best approximation ratio of...
Max-SAT-CC is the following optimization problem: Given a formula in CNF and a bound k, find an assignment with at most k variables being set to true that maximizes the number of ...
We consider the problems of finding the maximum number of vertex-disjoint triangles (VTP) and edge-disjoint triangles (ETP) in a simple graph. Both problems are NP-hard. The algor...
Abstract. We present randomized approximation algorithms for multicriteria Max-TSP. For Max-STSP with k > 1 objective functions, we obtain an approximation ratio of 1 k - for a...
In the strategyproof classification setting, a set of labeled examples is partitioned among multiple agents. Given the reported labels, an optimal classification mechanism returns...

The Steiner tree problem in weighted graphs seeks a minimum weight connected subgraph containing a given subset of the vertices terminals. We present a new polynomial-time heurist...
