We consider two basic computational problems regarding discrete probability distributions: (1) approximating the statistical difference (aka variation distance) between two given d...
Given a set of jobs, each consisting of a number of weighted intervals on the real line, and a number m of machines, we study the problem of selecting a maximum weight subset of th...
We provide combinatorial algorithms for the unsplittable flow problem (UFP) that either match or improve the previously best results. In the UFP we are given a (possibly directed)...
Abstract. Extensions of the randomized tournaments techniques introduced in [6, 7] to approximate solutions of 1-median and diameter computation of finite subsets of general metri...
Abstract. We consider minimum equivalent digraph problem, its maximum optimization variant and some non-trivial extensions of these two types of problems motivated by biological an...
