Node-Weighted Steiner Tree and Group Steiner Tree in Planar Graphs
We improve the approximation ratios for two optimization problems in planar graphs. For node-weighted Steiner tree, a classical network-optimization problem, the best achievable ap...

Improved Approximation Algorithms for Maximum Lifetime Problems in Wireless Networks
A wireless ad-hoc network is a collection of transceivers positioned in the plane. Each transceiver is equipped with a limited battery charge. The battery charge is then reduced a...

Shifting Strategy for Geometric Graphs without Geometry
We give a simple framework which is an alternative to the celebrated and widely used shifting strategy of Hochbaum and Maass [J. ACM, 1985] which has yielded efficient algorithms ...

Submodularity beyond submodular energies: coupling edges in graph cuts
We propose a new family of non-submodular global energy functions that still use submodularity internally to couple edges in a graph cut. We show it is possible to develop an efï¬...
