Let S be a set of n points in a metric space, and k a positive integer. Algorithms are given that construct k-fault-tolerant spanners for S. If in such a spanner at most k vertice...

The Karmarkar-Karp differencing algorithm is the best known polynomial time heuristic for the number partitioning problem, fundamental in both theoretical computer science and stat...
We give the first black-box reduction from arbitrary approximation algorithms to truthful approximation mechanisms for a non-trivial class of multiparameter problems. Specifically,...
We consider the feedback vertex set and feedback arc set problems in bipartite tournaments. We improve on recent results by giving a 2-approximation algorithm for the feedback vert...
The degree-constrained minimum spanning tree (DCMST) is relevant in the design of networks. It consists of finding a spanning tree whose nodes do not exceed a given maximum degree...
