Improved Algorithms for Constructing Fault-Tolerant Spanners
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...

Black-Box Randomized Reductions in Algorithmic Mechanism Design
We give the first black-box reduction from arbitrary approximation algorithms to truthful approximation mechanisms for a non-trivial class of multiparameter problems. Specifically,...

Linear Programming Based Approximation Algorithms for Feedback Set Problems in Bipartite Tournaments
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...

A Primal Branch-and-Cut Algorithm for the Degree-Constrained Minimum Spanning Tree Problem
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...
