Polynomial time approximation schemes for dense instances of NP-hard problems
We present a unified framework for designing polynomial time approximation schemes (PTASs) for “dense” instances of many NP-hard optimization problems, including maximum cut,...

Tight Approximability Results for Test Set Problems in Bioinformatics
In this paper, we investigate the test set problem and its variations that appear in a variety of applications. In general, we are given a universe of objects to be “distinguish...

Approximation Schemes for Euclidean k-Medians and Related Problems
In the k-median problem we are given a set S of n points in a metric space and a positive integer k. We desire to locate k medians in space, such that the sum of the distances fro...

Approximating Weighted Max-SAT Problems by Compensating for Relaxations
We introduce a new approach to approximating weighted Max-SAT problems that is based on simplifying a given instance, and then tightening the approximation. First, we relax its str...

Small Approximate Pareto Sets for Bi-objective Shortest Paths and Other Problems
We investigate the problem of computing a minimum set of solutions that approximates within a specified accuracy the Pareto curve of a multiobjective optimization problem. We show...
