An improved LP-based approximation for steiner tree

TL;DR: This paper improves the approximation factor for Steiner tree, developing an LP-based approximation algorithm based on a, seemingly novel, iterative randomized rounding technique and shows that the integrality gap of the LP is at most $1.55, hence answering to the mentioned open question.

Steiner Tree Approximation via Iterative Randomized Rounding

TL;DR: This article presents an LP-based approximation algorithm for Steiner tree with an improved approximation factor based on a, seemingly novel, iterative randomized rounding technique, and shows that the integrality gap of the LP is at most 1.55, answering the mentioned open question.

An Improved Approximation for $k$-median, and Positive Correlation in Budgeted Optimization

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors improve upon Li-Svensson's approximation ratio for the k-median problem from 2.732 + \epsilon to 2.675 + ǫ.

An Optimal Bifactor Approximation Algorithm for the Metric Uncapacitated Facility Location Problem

TL;DR: In this article, the authors obtained a 1.5-approximation algorithm for the metric uncapacitated facility location (UFL) problem, which is the best known algorithm.

An improved approximation for k-median, and positive correlation in budgeted optimization

TL;DR: This work improves upon Li-Svensson’s approximation ratio for k-median by developing an algorithm that improves upon various aspects of their work and develops algorithms that guarantee the known properties of dependent rounding but also have nearly bestpossible behavior—near-independence, which generalizes positive correlation—on “small” subsets of the variables.
