Maximizing social welfare among EF1 allocations at the presence of two types of agents
Jiaxuan Ma, Yong Chen, Guangting Chen +3
We study the fair allocation of indivisible items to agents to maximize the utilitarian social welfare, where the fairness criterion is envy-free up to one item and there are o…
An improved local search based algorithm for -star partition
Mingyang Gong, Guohui Lin, Brendan Mumey
We study the -star partition problem that aims to find a minimum collection of vertex-disjoint stars, each having at most vertices to cover all vertices in a simple undire…
Approximation algorithms for non-sequential star packing problems
Mengyuan Hu, An Zhang, Yong Chen +2
For a positive integer , a -star (-star, -star, respectively) is a connected graph containing a degree- vertex and degree- vertices, where $\e…
Approximately covering vertices by order- or longer paths
Mingyang Gong, Zhi-Zhong Chen, Guohui Lin +1
This paper studies , which is to cover as many vertices as possible in a given graph by vertex-disjoint -paths (i.e., paths each with at least five verti…
