Designed as a textbook for graduate courses on algorithms, this book presents efficient algorithms that find provably near-optimal solutions.
This book covers the dominant theoretical approaches to the approximate solution of hard combinatorial optimization and enumeration problems.
This book is intended to be used as a textbook for graduate students studying theoretical computer science. It can also be used as a reference book for researchers in the area of design and analysis of approximation algorithms.
Let G = (V, E) be a complete weighted graph satisfying the triangular inequality and let M = (V, ... the hypothesis of the previous lemma, (3) compute an Eulerian walk w on M, and (4) extract from w a tour according to the proof of ...
These algorithms tend to be simple, fast, and more robust than their exact counterparts. This book is the first to cover geometric approximation algorithms in detail.
This book focuses on the development of approximation-related algorithms and their relevant applications.
This is the first book to fully address the study of approximation algorithms as a tool for coping with intractable problems. With chapters contributed by leading researchers in the field,...
Through contributions from leading experts, this handbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the underlying theory and methodologies, as well as the various applications of approximation algorithms and metaheuristics.
Focuses on the interplay between algorithm design and the underlying computational models.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed workshop post-proceedings of the 17th International Workshop on Approximation and Online Algorithms, WAOA 2019, held in Munich, Germany, in September 2019 as part of ALGO 2019.
