Given a set of $n$ points in the Euclidean plane, the $k$-MinSumRadius problem asks to cover this point set using $k$ disks with the objective of minimizing the sum of the radii of the disks. After a long line of research on related…
We consider the single-source (or single-sink) buy-at-bulk problem with an unknown concave cost function. We want to route a set of demands along a graph to or from a designated root node, and the cost of routing x units of flow along an…
We investigate the polynomial-time approximability of the multistage version of Min-Sum Set Cover ($\mathrm{DSSC}$), a natural and intriguing generalization of the classical List Update problem. In $\mathrm{DSSC}$, we maintain a sequence of…

We consider a large family of problems in which an ordering (or, more precisely, a chain of subsets) of a finite set must be chosen to minimize some weighted sum of costs. This family includes variations of Min Sum Set Cover (MSSC), several…
