Facility location: distributed approximation
In this paper, we initiate the study of the approximability of the facility location problem in a distributed setting. In particular, we explore a trade-off between the amount of...

A Provably Efficient Computational Model for Approximate Spatiotemporal Retrieval
: The paper is concerned with the effective and efficient processing of spatiotemporal selection queries under varying degrees of approximation. Such queries may employ operators l...

Optimal Resilience Asynchronous Approximate Agreement
Consider an asynchronous system where each process begins with an arbitrary real value. Given some fixed > 0, an approximate agreement algorithm must have all non-faulty process...

Quadtree, ray shooting and approximate minimum weight Steiner triangulation
We present a quadtree-based decomposition of the interior of a polygon with holes. The complete decomposition yields a constant factor approximation of the minimum weight Steiner ...

A Threshold of ln n for Approximating Set Cover
Given a collection Ᏺ of subsets of S ϭ {1, . . . , n}, set cover is the problem of selecting as few as possible subsets from Ᏺ such that their union covers S, and max k-cover ...
