The metric 2-clustering problem is de ned as follows: given a metric (X;d), partition X into two sets S1 and S2 in order to minimize the value of X i X fu;vg Si d(u;v) In this pap...
Abstract. We present a parameterized approximation scheme for distributed combinatorial optimization problems based on dynamic programming. The algorithm is a utility propagation m...
Abstract. In this paper we introduce a new technique for approximation schemes for geometrical optimization problems. As an example problem, we consider the following variant of th...
