Given a set system (X, R), the hitting set problem is to find a smallest-cardinality subset H ⊆ X, with the property that each range R ∈ R has a non-empty intersection with H...
In k-means clustering we are given a set of n data points in d-dimensional space d and an integer k, and the problem is to determine a set of k points in d , called centers, to mi...

We give a 7.18-approximation algorithm for the minimum latency problem that uses only O(n log n) calls to the prize-collecting Steiner tree (PCST) subroutine of Goemans and Willia...
We study three closely related problems motivated by the prediction of RNA secondary structures with arbitrary pseudoknots: the MAXIMUM BASE PAIR STACKINGS problem proposed by Ieon...
The input to the minimum latency set cover problem (MLSC) consists of a set of jobs and a set of tools. Each job j needs a specific subset Sj of the tools in order to be processed...
