We present a simple randomized algorithmic framework for connected facility location problems. The basic idea is as follows: We run a black-box approximation algorithm for the unc...

— We consider the approximate string membership checking (ASMC) problem of extracting all the strings or substrings in a document that approximately match some string in a given ...
Let (L, ∗) be a semilattice, and let c : L → [0, ∞) be monotone and increasing on L. We state the Minimum Join problem as: given size n sub-collection X of L and integer k w...
Abstract. The maximum intersection problem for a matroid and a greedoid, given by polynomial-time oracles, is shown NP-hard by expressing the satisfiability of boolean formulas in...
We consider robust network design problems where the set of feasible demands may be given by an arbitrary polytope or convex body more generally. This model, introduced by BenAmeu...
