We consider the Node-weighted Steiner Forest problem on planar graphs. Demaine et al. showed that a generic primal-dual algorithm gives a 6-approximation. We present two different proofs of an approximation factor of~3. Then, we draw a connection to Goem ...
In this thesis, we present new approximation algorithms as well as hardness of approximation results for NP-hard vehicle routing problems related to public transportation. We consider two different problem classes that also occur frequently in areas such a ...
Let G = (V, E) denote a simple graph with vertex set V and edge set E. The profile of a vertex set V' subset of V denotes the multiset of pairwise distances between the vertices of V'. Two disjoint subsets of V are homometric if their profiles are the same ...
Big-Data streaming applications are used in several domains such as social media analysis, financial analysis, video annotation, surveillance, medical services and traffic prediction. These applications, running on different types of platforms from mobile ...
The paper proposes a variant of sesqui-pushout rewriting (SqPO) that allows one to develop the theory of nested application conditions (NACs) for arbitrary rule spans; this is a considerable generalisation compared with existing results for NACs, which onl ...
In this paper, we present Majority-Inverter Graph (MIG), a novel logic representation structure for efficient optimization of Boolean functions. An MIG is a directed acyclic graph consisting of three-input majority nodes and regular/complemented e ...
A topological graph G is a graph drawn in the plane with vertices represented by points and edges represented by continuous arcs connecting the vertices. If every edge is drawn as a straight-line segment, then G is called a geometric graph. A k-grid in a t ...
Processing large graphs is an important part of the big-data problem. Recently a number of scale-up systems such as X-Stream, Graphchi and Turbograph have been proposed for processing large graphs using secondary storage on a single machine. The design and ...
Our goal, in this paper, is to infer the topology of a network when (i) we can send probes between sources and receivers at the edge of the network and (ii) intermediate nodes can perform simple network coding operations, i.e., additions. Our key intuition ...
The max-product algorithm, a local message-passing scheme that attempts to compute the most probable assignment (MAP) of a given probability distribution, has been successfully employed as a method of approximate inference for applications arising in codin ...
