## Abstract In this article we study the __group Steiner network__ problem, which is defined in the following way. Given a graph __G__ = (__V,E__), a partition of its vertices into K groups and connectivity requirements between the different groups, the aim is to find simultaneously a set of repres

We address the problem of designing a network so that certain connectivity requirements are satisfied, at minimum cost of the edges used. The requirements are specified for each subset of vertices in terms of the number of edges with one endpoint in the set. We address a class of such problems, wher
We give a (1-1/e)-approximation algorithm for the max-profit generalized assignment problem (Max-GAP) with fixed profits when the profit (but not necessarily the size) of every item is independent from the bin it is assigned to. The previously best-known approximation ratio for this problem was 1 2
