Approximability and Nonapproximability Results for Minimizing Total Flow Time on a Single Machine
We consider the problem of scheduling n jobs that are released over time on a single machine in order to minimize the total ow time. This problem is well-known to be NPcomplete, a...

Embeddings of negative-type metrics and an improved approximation to generalized sparsest cut
In this paper, we study the metrics of negative type, which are metrics (V, d) such that d is an Euclidean metric; these metrics are thus also known as " 2-squared" met...

A Space--Time Tradeoff for Permutation Problems
Many combinatorial problems--such as the traveling salesman, feedback arcset, cutwidth, and treewidth problem-can be formulated as finding a feasible permutation of n elements. Ty...

A Near Linear Time Approximation Scheme for Steiner Tree Among Obstacles in the Plane
We present a polynomial-time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the Steiner tree problem with polygonal obstacles in the plane with running time O(n log2 n), where n denotes the numb...

News from the Online Traveling Repairman
In the traveling repairman problem (Trp), a tour must be found through every one of a set of points (cities) in some metric space such that the weighted sum of completion times of ...
