Constant factor approximation for ATSP with two edge weights

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Jakub Tarnawski

We give a constant factor approximation algorithm for the Asymmetric Traveling Salesman Problem on shortest path metrics of directed graphs with two different edge weights. For the case of unit edge weights, the first constant factor approximation was give ...

A Constant-Factor Approximation Algorithm for the Asymmetric Traveling Salesman Problem

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Jakub Tarnawski

We give a constant-factor approximation algorithm for the asymmetric traveling salesman problem. Our approximation guarantee is analyzed with respect to the standard LP relaxation, and thus our result confirms the conjectured constant integrality gap of th ...

A Framework for the Secretary Problem on the Intersection of Matroids

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Moran Feldman, Rico Zenklusen

The secretary problem became one of the most prominent online selection problems due to its numerous applications in online mechanism design. The task is to select a maximum weight subset of elements subject to given constraints, where elements arrive one- ...

Optimal Software Patching Plan for PMUs

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Teklemariam Tsegay Tesfay

Phasor measurement units (PMUs) deployed to monitor the state of an electrical grid need to be patched from time to time to prevent attacks that exploit vulnerabilities in the software. Applying some of these patches requires a PMU reboot, which takes the ...

Combinatorial Algorithm for Restricted Max-Min Fair Allocation

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Christos Kalaitzis, Chidambaram Annamalai

We study the basic allocation problem of assigning resources to players to maximize fairness. This is one of the few natural problems that enjoys the intriguing status of having a better estimation algorithm than approximation algorithm. Indeed, a certain ...

LP-Based Algorithms For Capacitated Facility Location

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Hyung Chan An

Linear programming (LP) has played a key role in the study of algorithms for combinatorial optimization problems. In the field of approximation algorithms, this is well illustrated by the uncapacitated facility location problem. A variety of algorithmic me ...

Dynamic Facility Location via Exponential Clocks

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Ashkan Norouzi Fard, Hyung Chan An

The dynamic facility location problem is a generalization of the classic facility location problem proposed by Eisenstat, Mathieu, and Schabanel to model the dynamics of evolving social/infrastructure networks. The generalization lies in that the distance ...

Quasi-Polynomial Local Search for Restricted Max-Min Fair Allocation

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Lukas Polacek

The restricted max-min fair allocation problem (also known as the restricted Santa Claus problem) is one of few problems that enjoys the intriguing status of having a better estimation algorithm than approximation algorithm. Indeed, Asadpour et al. [2012] ...

Removing and Adding Edges for the Traveling Salesman Problem

Ola Nils Anders Svensson

We present a framework for approximating the metric TSP based on a novel use of matchings. Traditionally, matchings have been used to add edges to make a given graph Eulerian, whereas our approach also allows for the removal of certain edges leading to a d ...
