Approximating the Generalized Capacitated Tree-Routing Problem
In this paper, we introduce the generalized capacitated tree-routing problem (GCTR), which is described as follows. Given a connected graph G = (V, E) with a sink s V and a set M...

Fast Approximate Graph Partitioning Algorithms
We study graph partitioning problems on graphs with edge capacities and vertex weights. The problems of b-balanced cuts and k-balanced partitions are unified into a new problem ca...

Separation and Approximation of Polyhedral Objects
Given a family of disjoint polygons P1, P2, : : :, Pk in the plane, and an integer parameter m, it is NP-complete to decide if the Pi's can be pairwise separated by a polygon...
