An efficient 3-approximation algorithm for the Steiner tree problem with the minimum number of Steiner points and bounded edge length. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2023
We present improved algorithms for the Steiner tree problem with the minimum number of Steiner points and bounded edge length. Given n terminal points in a 2D Euclidean plane and an edge length bound, the problem asks to construct a spanning tree of n ...

The AAA Algorithm for Rational Approximation [PDF]

open access: yesSIAM Journal of Scientific Computing, 2018
We introduce a new algorithm for approximation by rational functions on a real or complex set of points, implementable in 40 lines of Matlab and requiring no user input parameters. Even on a disk or interval the algorithm may outperform existing methods, and on more complicated domains it is especially competitive. The core ideas are (1) representation

Verified Approximation Algorithms [PDF]

open access: yesLogical Methods in Computer Science, 2022
We present the first formal verification of approximation algorithms for NP-complete optimization problems: vertex cover, independent set, set cover, center selection, load balancing, and bin packing. We uncover incompletenesses in existing proofs and improve the approximation ratio in one case. All proofs are uniformly invariant based.

Efficient Streaming Algorithms for Maximizing Monotone DR-Submodular Function on the Integer Lattice

open access: yesMathematics, 2022
In recent years, the issue of maximizing submodular functions has attracted much interest from research communities. However, most submodular functions are specified in a set function.

On the Embed and Project Algorithm for the Graph Bandwidth Problem

open access: yesMathematics, 2021
The graph bandwidth problem, where one looks for a labeling of graph vertices that gives the minimum difference between the labels over all edges, is a classical NP-hard problem that has drawn a lot of attention in recent decades. In this paper, we focus

The Vehicle Routing Problem with Simultaneous Pickup and Delivery Considering the Total Number of Collected Goods

open access: yesMathematics, 2023
As a consequence of e-commerce development, large quantities of returned goods are shipped every day. The vehicle routing problem with simultaneous delivery and pickup (VRPSDP) has become one of the most important areas of logistics management.

An approximate search algorithm for the student-internship allocation problem

open access: yesTạp chí Khoa học, 2022
This paper proposes an approximate search algorithm to solve the student-internship allocation problem. The key idea of the algorithm is that in each iteration, each student unassigned to an enterprise will be assigned to an enterprise where the student

Approximation algorithms [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1997
Increasing global competition, rapidly changing markets, and greater consumer awareness have altered the way in which corporations do business. To become more efficient, many industries have sought to model some operational aspects by gigantic optimization problems. It is not atypical to encounter models that capture 10 6

Approximation algorithm for the multicovering problem [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Combinatorial Optimization, 2021
Let $\mathcal{H}=(V,\mathcal{E})$ be a hypergraph with maximum edge size $\ell$ and maximum degree $Δ$. For given numbers $b_v\in \mathbb{N}_{\geq 2}$, $v\in V$, a set multicover in $\mathcal{H}$ is a set of edges $C \subseteq \mathcal{E}$ such that every vertex $v$ in $V$ belongs to at least $b_v$ edges in $C$. Set Multicover is the problem of finding

An Approximation Algorithm for Approximation Rank [PDF]

open access: yes2009 24th Annual IEEE Conference on Computational Complexity, 2009
One of the strongest techniques available for showing lower bounds on quantum communication complexity is the logarithm of the approximation rank of the communication matrix--the minimum rank of a matrix which is entrywise close to the communication matrix.
