We study the Unsplittable Flow Problem (UFP) on a line graph, focusing on the long-standing open question of whether the problem is APX-hard. We describe a deterministic quasi-pol...

We investigate the optimality of (1+ )-approximation algorithms obtained via the dimensionality reduction method. We show that: • Any data structure for the (1 + )-approximate n...
Consider a graph problem which is associated with a parameter, for example, that of finding a longest tour spanning k vertices. The following question is natural: Is there a smal...
Abstract. We consider the clustering with diversity problem: given a set of colored points in a metric space, partition them into clusters such that each cluster has at least point...
With an ever-increasing portion of the delay in highspeed CMOS chips attributable to the interconnect, interconnect-circuit design automation continues to grow in importance. By t...
