Polynomial time approximation schemes for minimum disk cover problems
The following planar minimum disk cover problem is considered in this paper: given a set D of n disks and a set P of m points in the Euclidean plane, where each disk covers a subse...

Hardness results for approximating the bandwidth
The bandwidth of an n-vertex graph G is the minimum value b such that the vertices of G can be mapped to distinct integer points on a line without any edge being stretched to a di...

A Sublinear-Time Randomized Approximation Scheme for the Robinson-Foulds Metric
The Robinson-Foulds (RF) metric is the measure most widely used in comparing phylogenetic trees; it can be computed in linear time using Day's algorithm. When faced with the n...

Local Graph Partitions for Approximation and Testing
—We introduce a new tool for approximation and testing algorithms called partitioning oracles. We develop methods for constructing them for any class of bounded-degree graphs wit...
