Abstract: Recently, there have been significant theoretical progresses towards fixed-parameter algorithms for the DOMINATING SET problem of planar graphs. It is known that the prob...
This paper deals with approximation algorithms for the prize collecting generalized Steiner forest problem, defined as follows. The input is an undirected graph G = (V, E), a colle...
We study (vertex-disjoint) packings of paths of length two (i.e., of P2's) in graphs under a parameterized perspective. Starting from a maximal P2-packing P of size j we use e...
The World Wide Web may be viewed as a graph each of whose vertices corresponds to a static HTML web page, and each of whose edges corresponds to a hyperlink from one web page to an...
Abstract. In this paper, we study an efficient approximate integer linear programming formulation of the general problem of one-dimensional periodic task scheduling under storage r...
The problem of interest is covering a given point set with homothetic copies of several convex containers C1,...,Ck, while the objective is to minimize the maximum over the dilatat...
Intrusion detection, area coverage and border surveillance are important applications of wireless sensor networks today. They can be (and are being) used to monitor large unprotec...

We study the parameterized complexity of the following problem: is it possible to make a given graph r-regular by applying at most k elementary editing operations; the operations a...
A popular model for protecting privacy when person-specific data is released is k-anonymity. A dataset is k-anonymous if each record is identical to at least (k - 1) other records ...
Connected Vertex Cover Problem (CVC) is an NP-hard problem. The currently best known approximation algorithm for CVC has performance ration 2. This paper gives the first Polynomial...
