Arkin et al.~cite{ArkinBCCJKMM17} recently introduced textit{partitioned pairs} network optimization problems: given a metric-weighted graph on $n$ pairs of nodes, the task is to color one node from each pair red and the other blue, and then to compute two separate textit{network structures} or disjoint (node-covering) subgraphs of a specified sort, one on the graph induced by the red nodes and the other on the blue nodes. Three structures have been investigated by cite{ArkinBCCJKMM17}---textit{spanning trees}, textit{traveling salesperson tours}, and textit{perfect matchings}---and the three objectives to optimize for when computing such pairs of structures: textit{min-sum}, textit{min-max}, and textit{bottleneck}. We provide improved approximation guarantees and/or strengthened hardness results for these nine NP-hard problem settings.
Given a set R of red points and a set B of blue points in the plane, the Red-Blue point separation problem asks if there are at most k lines that separate R from B, that is, each cell induced by the lines of the solution is either empty or monochroma
Robust optimization is a widely studied area in operations research, where the algorithm takes as input a range of values and outputs a single solution that performs well for the entire range. Specifically, a robust algorithm aims to minimize regret,
Given a metric $(V,d)$ and a $textsf{root} in V$, the classic $textsf{$k$-TSP}$ problem is to find a tour originating at the $textsf{root}$ of minimum length that visits at least $k$ nodes in $V$. In this work, motivated by applications where the inp
Bloom filters (BF) are widely used for approximate membership queries over a set of elements. BF variants allow removals, sets of unbounded size or querying a sliding window over an unbounded stream. However, for this last case the best current appro
We consider the problem of designing sublinear time algorithms for estimating the cost of a minimum metric traveling salesman (TSP) tour. Specifically, given access to a $n times n$ distance matrix $D$ that specifies pairwise distances between $n$ po
