Approximation algorithms for intersection graphs

TL;DR: Three complexity parameters that in some sense measure how chordal-like a graph is are studied to construct simple polynomial-time approximation algorithms with constant approximation ratio for many NP-hard problems, when restricted to graphs for which at least one of the three complexity parameters is bounded by a constant.

Genomic Scaffold Filling: A Progress Report

TL;DR: The genomic scaffold filling problem has attracted a lot of attention since 2010 and is NP-complete and APX-hard, and admits a 1.2-approximation approach.

A single-exponential FPT algorithm for the K 4 -minor cover problem

TL;DR: An efficient FPT algorithm for the K 4 -minor cover problem is provided that combines iterative compression with protrusion reduction and branching and extends previous algorithms for Vertex Cover and Feedback Vertex Set.

Pareto Optimal Allocation under Uncertain Preferences

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the problem of assigning an assignment with the highest probability of being Pareto optimal under two uncertainty models: (1) the lottery model in which each agent has an independent probability distribution over linear orders and (2) the joint probability model that involves a joint probability distributions over preference profiles.
