Covering Rectilinear Polygons with Axis-Parallel Rectangles
We give an O( log n) factor approximation algorithm for covering a rectilinear polygon with holes using axis-parallel rectangles. This is the first polynomial time approximation a...

First order LUB approximations: characterization and algorithms
One of the major approaches to approximation of logical theories is the upper and lower bounds approach introduced in (Selman and Kautz, 1991, 1996). In this paper, we address the...
