Fast Algorithms for Constant Approximation k-Means Clustering
In this paper we study the k-means clustering problem. It is well-known that the general version of this problem is NP-hard. Numerous approximation algorithms have been proposed fo...

Approximation Algorithms for Buy-at-Bulk Geometric Network Design
Abstract. The buy-at-bulk network design problem has been extensively studied in the general graph model. In this paper we consider the geometric version of the problem, where all ...

The Complexity of Making Unique Choices: Approximating 1-in- k SAT
We study the approximability of 1-in-kSAT, the variant of Max kSAT where a clause is deemed satisfied when precisely one of its literals is satisfied. We also investigate differ...

Greedy in Approximation Algorithms
The objective of this paper is to characterize classes of problems for which a greedy algorithm finds solutions provably close to optimum. To that end, we introduce the notion of k...
