Approximating Fault-Tolerant Group-Steiner Problems
In this paper, we initiate the study of designing approximation algorithms for FaultTolerant Group-Steiner (FTGS) problems. The motivation is to protect the well-studied group-Ste...

A Primal-Dual Approximation Algorithm for Partial Vertex Cover: Making Educated Guesses
We study the partial vertex cover problem. Given a graph G = (V, E), a weight function w : V → R+ , and an integer s, our goal is to cover all but s edges, by picking a set of v...

Graduated Errors in Approximate Queries Using Hierarchies and Ordered Sets
Abstract. Often, qualitative values have an ordering, such as (veryshort, short, medium-height, tall) or a hierarchical level, such as (TheWorld, Europe, Spain, Madrid), which are ...

Efficient Approximation Algorithms for the Subset-Sums Equality Problem
We investigate the problem of finding two nonempty disjoint subsets of a set of n positive integers, with the objective that the sums of the numbers in the two subsets be as close ...

Approximations for a Multi-Step Processing of Spatial Joins
The basic concept for processing spatial joins consists of two steps: First, the spatial join is performed on the minimum bounding rectangles of the objects by using a spatial acce...
