Compression of Strings with Approximate Repeats
We describe a model for strings of characters that is loosely based on the Lempel Ziv model with the addition that a repeated substring can be an approximate match to the original...

An Empirical Analysis of Approximation Algorithms for Euclidean TSP
- The Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is perhaps the most famous optimization problem in the set NP-hard. Many problems that are natural applications in computer science and engin...

Approximation by Conic Splines
Abstract. We show that the complexity of a parabolic or conic spline approximating a sufficiently smooth curve with non-vanishing curvature to within Hausdorff distance ε is c1ε...

A 3-Approximation for Facility Location with Uniform Capacities
We consider the facility location problem where each facility can serve at most U clients. We analyze a local search algorithm for this problem which uses only the operations of ad...

Iterative Methods in Combinatorial Optimization
We describe a simple iterative method for proving a variety of results in combinatorial optimization. It is inspired by Jain’s iterative rounding method (FOCS 1998) for designing...
