Node-weighted network design and maximum sub-determinants

Carsten Moldenhauer

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~

Steiner Tree Approximation via Iterative Randomized Rounding

Thomas Rothvoss, Laura Sanità

The Steiner tree problem is one of the most fundamental NP-hard problems: given a weighted undirected graph and a subset of terminal nodes, find a minimum-cost tree spanning the terminals. In a sequence of papers, the approximation ratio for this problem w ...

Metropolis-Hastings sampling of paths

Michel Bierlaire, Gunnar Flötteröd

We consider the previously unsolved problem of sampling paths according to a given distribution from a general network. The problem is difficult because of the combinatorial number of alternatives, which prohibits a complete enumeration of all paths and he ...

Approximating k-median via pseudo-approximation

Ola Nils Anders Svensson

We present a novel approximation algorithm for k-median that achieves an approximation guarantee of 1 + √3 + ε, improving upon the decade-old ratio of 3+ε. Our approach is based on two components, each of which, we believe, is of independent interest. Firs ...

Tight Approximation Algorithms for Scheduling with Fixed Jobs and Nonavailability

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Klaus Jansen

We study two closely related problems in nonpreemptive scheduling of jobs on identical parallel machines. In these two settings there are either fixed jobs or nonavailability intervals during which the machines are not available; in both cases, the objecti ...

Primal-dual Approximation Algorithms for Node-Weighted Steiner Forest on Planar Graphs

Carsten Moldenhauer

NODE-WEIGHTED STEINER FOREST is the following problem: Given an undirected graph, a set of pairs of terminal vertices, a weight function on the vertices, find a minimum weight set of vertices that includes and connects each pair of terminals. We consider t ...

Metropolis-Hastings sampling of paths

Michel Bierlaire, Gunnar Flötteröd

We consider the previously unsolved problem of sampling cycle-free paths according to a given distribution from a general network. The problem is difficult because of the combinatorial number of alternatives, which prohibits a complete enumeration of all p ...

Hardness Of Precedence Constrained Scheduling On Identical Machines

Ola Nils Anders Svensson

In 1966, Graham showed that a simple procedure called list scheduling yields a 2-approximation algorithm for the central problem of scheduling precedence constrained jobs on identical machines to minimize makespan. To date this has remained the best algori ...
