We give a constant factor approximation algorithm for the following generalization of the k-median problem. We are given a set of clients and facilities in a metric space. Each fa...
The Directed Steiner Tree (DST) problem is a cornerstone problem in network design. We focus on the generalization of the problem with higher connectivity requirements. The proble...

In this paper, we propose a new approach for gated bus synthesis [16] with minimum wire capacitance per transaction in three-dimensional (3D) ICs. The 3D IC technology connects di...

We present an O( √ n log n)-approximation algorithm for the problem of finding the sparsest spanner of a given directed graph G on n vertices. A spanner of a graph is a sparse ...

Given a directed graph G = (V, E) and an integer k ≥ 1, a Steiner k-transitive-closure-spanner (Steiner k-TC-spanner) of G is a directed graph H = (VH , EH ) such that (1) V ⊆ ...

We formulate the problem of nonprojective dependency parsing as a polynomial-sized integer linear program. Our formulation is able to handle non-local output features in an effici...
We show that the standard linear programming relaxation for the tree augmentation problem in undirected graphs has an integrality ratio that approaches 3 2 . This refutes a conjec...

This paper considers the design of two-layered fully interconnected networks.A two-layered network consists of clusters of nodes, each defining an access network and a backbone n...
Column generation has proven to be efficient in solving the linear programming relaxation of large scale instances ofthemultiple-depotvehicleschedulingproblem(MDVSP).Howeverdif...

Given a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model and an optimal basis of the associated linear programming relaxation, the Gomory's corner relaxation is obtained by drop...
