Survey of local algorithms

J Suomela - ACM Computing Surveys (CSUR), 2013 - dl.acm.org
A local algorithm is a distributed algorithm that runs in constant time, independently of the
size of the network. Being highly scalable and fault tolerant, such algorithms are ideal in the …

Various properties of various ultrafilters, various graph width parameters, and various connectivity systems (with survey)

T Fujita - arxiv preprint arxiv:2408.02299, 2024 - arxiv.org
This paper investigates ultrafilters in the context of connectivity systems, defined as pairs
$(X, f) $ where $ X $ is a finite set and $ f $ is a symmetric submodular function. Ultrafilters …

[PDF][PDF] Tight approximation algorithms for maximum general assignment problems

L Fleischer, MX Goemans, VS Mirrokni, M Sviridenko - SODA, 2006 - Citeseer
A separable assignment problem (Ë È) is defined by a set of bins and a set of items to pack
in each bin; a value,, for assigning item to bin; and a separate packing constraint for each …

Local computation: Lower and upper bounds

F Kuhn, T Moscibroda, R Wattenhofer - Journal of the ACM (JACM), 2016 - dl.acm.org
The question of what can be computed, and how efficiently, is at the core of computer
science. Not surprisingly, in distributed systems and networking research, an equally …

Polylogarithmic inapproximability

E Halperin, R Krauthgamer - Proceedings of the thirty-fifth annual ACM …, 2003 - dl.acm.org
We provide the first hardness result of a polylogarithmic approximation ratio for a natural NP-
hard optimization problem. We show that for every fixed ε> 0, the GROUP-STEINER-TREE …

Approximation algorithms for allocation problems: Improving the factor of 1-1/e

U Feige, J Vondrák - 2006 47th Annual IEEE Symposium on …, 2006 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Combinatorial allocation problems require allocating items to players in a way that
maximizes the total utility. Two such problems received attention recently, and were …

[BOOK][B] Connected dominating set: theory and applications

DZ Du, PJ Wan - 2012 - books.google.com
The connected dominating set (CDS) has been a classic subject studied in graph theory

Approximating min sum set cover

U Feige, L Lovász, P Tetali - Algorithmica, 2004 - Springer
The input to the min sum set cover problem is a collection of n sets that jointly cover m
elements. The output is a linear order on the sets, namely, in every time step from 1 to n …
