We consider variants of the classic bin packing and multiple knapsack problems, in which sets of items of di erent classes (colours) need to be placed in bins; the items may have di erent sizes and values. Each bin has a limited capacity, and a bound on the number of distinct classes of items it can

We propose a fully polynomial bicriteria approximation scheme for the constrained spanning tree problem. First, an exact pseudo-polynomial algorithm is developed based on a two-variable extension of the well-known matrix-tree theorem. The scaling and approximate binary search techniques are then uti
We present a unified framework for designing polynomial time approximation schemes (PTASs) for ``dense'' instances of many NP-hard optimization problems, including maximum cut, graph bisection, graph separation, minimum k-way cut with and without specified terminals, and maximum 3-satisfiability.

A linear time 5 3 -approximation algorithm is presented for the NP-hard problem of finding a minimum strongly-connected spanning subgraph. It is based on cycle contraction that was first introduced by Khuller, Raghavachari and Young [SIAM J. Comput. 24 (1995) 859-872]. We improve their result by con
