[KİTAP][B] Combinatorial optimization

BH Korte, J Vygen, B Korte, J Vygen - 2011 - Springer
Let us start with two examples. A company has a machine which drills holes into printed
circuit boards. Since it produces many of these boards it wants the machine to complete one …

Approximating k-median via pseudo-approximation

S Li, O Svensson - proceedings of the forty-fifth annual ACM symposium …, 2013 - dl.acm.org
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 …

[HTML][HTML] A 1.488 approximation algorithm for the uncapacitated facility location problem

S Li - Information and Computation, 2013 - Elsevier
We present a 1.488-approximation algorithm for the metric uncapacitated facility location
(UFL) problem. Previously, the best algorithm was due to Byrka (2007). Byrka proposed an …

Online bipartite matching with random arrivals: an approach based on strongly factor-revealing lps

M Mahdian, Q Yan - Proceedings of the forty-third annual ACM …, 2011 - dl.acm.org
In a seminal paper, Karp, Vazirani, and Vazirani show that a simple ranking algorithm
achieves a competitive ratio of 1-1/e for the online bipartite matching problem in the …

The reliable facility location problem: Formulations, heuristics, and approximation algorithms

ZJM Shen, RL Zhan, J Zhang - INFORMS Journal on …, 2011 - pubsonline.informs.org
We study a reliable facility location problem wherein some facilities are subject to failure
from time to time. If a facility fails, customers originally assigned to it have to be reassigned to …

Online graph algorithms with predictions

Y Azar, D Panigrahi, N Touitou - Proceedings of the 2022 Annual ACM-SIAM …, 2022 - SIAM
Online algorithms with predictions is a popular and elegant framework for bypassing
pessimistic lower bounds in competitive analysis. In this model, online algorithms are …

Constant approximation for k-median and k-means with outliers via iterative rounding

R Krishnaswamy, S Li, S Sandeep - Proceedings of the 50th annual ACM …, 2018 - dl.acm.org
In this paper, we present a new iterative rounding framework for many clustering problems.
Using this, we obtain an (α1+ є≤ 7.081+ є)-approximation algorithm for k-median with …

An optimal bifactor approximation algorithm for the metric uncapacitated facility location problem

J Byrka, K Aardal - SIAM Journal on Computing, 2010 - SIAM
We obtain a 1.5-approximation algorithm for the metric uncapacitated facility location (UFL)
problem, which improves on the previously best known 1.52-approximation algorithm by …

Learning to propose objects

P Krahenbuhl, V Koltun - Proceedings of the IEEE …, 2015 - openaccess.thecvf.com
We present an approach for highly accurate bottom-up object segmentation. Given an
image, the approach rapidly generates a set of regions that delineate candidate objects in …
