A set of vertices $W$ in a connected graph $G$ is called a Steiner dominating set if $W$ is both Steiner and dominating set. The Steiner domination number $\gamma_{st}(G)$ is the minimum cardinality of a Steiner dominating set of $G$. A…

We consider the problem of covering the boundary of a simple polygon on n vertices using the minimum number of geodesic unit disks. We present an O(n \log^2 n+k) time 2-approximation algorithm for finding the centers of the disks, with k…

A set $D\subseteq V$ of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is called a neighborhood total dominating set of $G$ if $D$ is a dominating set and the subgraph of $G$ induced by the open neighborhood of $D$ has no isolated vertex. Given a graph $G$,…

We study the Dominating set problem and Independent Set Problem for dynamic graphs in the vertex-arrival model. We say that a dynamic algorithm for one of these problems is $k$-stable when it makes at most $k$ changes to its output…

For a given graph $G = (V, E)$, a subset of the vertices $D\subseteq V$ is called a semitotal dominating set, if $D$ is a dominating set and every vertex $v \in D$ is within distance two to another witness $v' \in D$. We want to find a…

We consider single-machine scheduling problems that are natural generalizations or variations of the min-sum set cover problem and the min-sum vertex cover problem. For each of these problems, we give new approximation algorithms. Some of…

We show how to compute a 20-approximation of a minimum dominating set in a planar graph in a constant number of rounds in the LOCAL model of distributed computing. This improves on the previously best known approximation factor of 52, which…

The \emph{Dominating $H$-Pattern} problem generalizes the classical $k$-Dominating Set problem: for a fixed \emph{pattern} $H$ and a given graph $G$, the goal is to find an induced subgraph $S$ of $G$ such that (1) $S$ is isomorphic to $H$,…

A dominating set $S$ in a graph is a subset of vertices such that every vertex is either in $S$ or adjacent to a vertex in $S$. A minimal dominating set $M$ is a dominating set such that $M-v$ is not a dominating set for all $v \in M$. In…

A set $S \subseteq V$ is a dominating set in G if for every u \in V \ S, there exists $v \in S$ such that $(u,v) \in E$, i.e., $N[S] = V$. A dominating set $S$ is an Isolate Dominating Set} (IDS) if the induced subgraph $G[S]$ has at least…

Our research deals with the optimization version of the set partition problem, where the objective is to minimize the absolute difference between the sums of the two disjoint partitions. Although this problem is known to be NP-hard and…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple graph. A dominating set of $G$ is a subset $D\subseteq V$ such that every vertex not in $D$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $D$.The cardinality of a smallest dominating set of $G$, denoted by $\gamma(G)$, is…

The k-domination number of a graph is the minimum size of a set X such that every vertex of G is in distance at most k from X. We give a linear time constant-factor approximation algorithm for k-domination number in classes of graphs with…

Let C be a finite set of N elements and R = r_1,r_2,..., r_m a family of M subsets of C. A subset X of R verifies the Consecutive Ones Property (C1P) if there exists a permutation P of C such that each r_i in X is an interval of P. A…

We present approximation algorithms for maximum independent set of pseudo-disks in the plane, both in the weighted and unweighted cases. For the unweighted case, we prove that a local search algorithm yields a \PTAS. For the weighted case,…

Packing disjoint subgraphs in a given graph is a fundamental problem with many applications. Motivated by political districting, we focus on connected subgraphs that are compact (e.g., having constant radius from a single center vertex) and…

We study the minimum diameter problem for a set of inexact points. By inexact, we mean that the precise location of the points is not known. Instead, the location of each point is restricted to a contineus region ($\impre$ model) or a…

Given a simple, undirected graph $G$ with a threshold function $\tau:V(G) \rightarrow \mathbb{N}$, the \textsc{Target Set Selection} (TSS) problem is about choosing a minimum cardinality set, say $S \subseteq V(G)$, such that starting a…

In this paper, we investigate optimization problems with nonnegative and orthogonal constraints, where any feasible matrix of size $n \times p$ exhibits a sparsity pattern such that each row accommodates at most one nonzero entry. Our…

Given two sets $A$ and $B$ of integers, we consider the problem of finding a set $S \subseteq A$ of the smallest possible cardinality such the greatest common divisor of the elements of $S \cup B$ equals that of those of $A \cup B$. The…
