Algorithmic aspects of connectivity, allocation and design problems

Most combinatorial optimization problems are NP -hard, which imply that under well- believed complexity assumptions, there exist no polynomial time algorithms to solve them. To cope with the NP-hardness, approximation algorithms which return solutions close to the optimal, have become a rich fiel...
