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 provide improved approximation algorithms for several rectangle tiling and packing problems (RTILE, DRTILE, and d-RPACK) studied in the literature. Most of our algorithms are highly efficient since their running times are near-linear in the sparse input size rather than in the domain size. In add
## 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 provide constant ratio approximation algorithms for two NP-hard problems, the rectangle stabbing problem and the rectilinear partitioning problem. In the rectangle stabbing problem, we are given a set of rectangles in two-dimensional space, with the objective of stabbing all rectangles with the m
The group Steiner tree problem is a generalization of the Steiner tree problem where we are given several subsets (groups) of vertices in a weighted graph, and the goal is to find a minimum-weight connected subgraph containing at least one vertex from each group.The problem was introduced by Reich a
