An Improved Approximation Bound for Spanning Star Forest and Color Saving
We present a simple algorithm for the maximum spanning star forest problem. We take advantage of the fact that the problem is a special case of complementary set cover and we adapt...

Approximating the Stretch Factor of Euclidean Graphs
There are several results available in the literature dealing with efficient construction of t-spanners for a given set S of n points in Rd. t-spanners are Euclidean graphs in whic...

A generic flow algorithm for shared filter ordering problems
We consider a fundamental flow maximization problem that arises during the evaluation of multiple overlapping queries defined on a data stream, in a heterogenous parallel environm...
