An Approximation Algorithm for the Disjoint Paths Problem in Even-Degree Planar Graphs
In joint work with ´Eva Tardos in 1995, we asked whether it was possible to obtain a polynomial-time, polylogarithmic approximation algorithm for the disjoint paths problem in th...

Faster approximation schemes for fractional multicommodity flow problems via dynamic graph algorithms
We combine the work of Garg and K¨onemann, and Fleischer with ideas from dynamic graph algorithms to obtain faster (1 − ε)-approximation schemes for various versions of the mu...

On the Approximability of the Steiner Tree Problem
We show that it is not possible to approximate the minimum Steiner tree problem within 1 + 1 162 unless RP = NP. The currently best known lower bound is 1 + 1 400. The reduction i...

A factor 1/2 approximation algorithm for two-stage stochastic matching problems
We introduce the two-stage stochastic maximum-weight matching problem and demonstrate that this problem is NP-complete. We give a factor 1 2 approximation algorithm and prove its ...

Tight Approximability Results for the Maximum Solution Equation Problem over Zp
In the maximum solution equation problem a collection of equations are given over some algebraic structure. The objective is to find an assignment to the variables in the equation...
