Approximating corridors and tours via restriction and relaxation techniques
Given a rectangular boundary partitioned into rectangles, the Minimum-Length Corridor (MLC-R) problem consists of finding a corridor of least total length. A corridor is a set of ...

Circular partitions with applications to visualization and embeddings
We introduce a hierarchical partitioning scheme of the Euclidean plane, called circular partitions. Such a partition consists of a hierarchy of convex polygons, each having small ...

Approximating the Best-Fit Tree Under Lp Norms
Abstract. We consider the problem of fitting an n × n distance matrix M by a tree metric T. We give a factor O(min{n1/p , (k log n)1/p }) approximation algorithm for finding the...

H(div) preconditioning for a mixed finite element formulation of the diffusion problem with random data
We study H(div) preconditioning for the saddle-point systems that arise in a stochastic Galerkin mixed formulation of the steady-state diffusion problem with random data. The key i...

A Stab at Approximating Minimum Subadditive Join
Let (L, ∗) be a semilattice, and let c : L → [0, ∞) be monotone and increasing on L. We state the Minimum Join problem as: given size n sub-collection X of L and integer k w...
