We present the first constant-factor approximation algorithm for the metric k-median problem. The k-median problem is one of the most wellstudied clustering problems, i.e., those problems in which the aim is to partition a given set of points into clusters so that the points within a cluster are rel
Given an undirected graph with nonnegative edge costs and an integer k, the k-MST problem is that of finding a tree of minimum cost on k nodes. This problem is known to be NP-hard. We present a simple approximation algorithm that finds a solution whose cost is less than 17 times the cost of the opti
