DIMACS Reading Seminar in Algorithms

Topic:

Approximation Algorithms Based on Primal-Dual Simplex Method

Place:

CoRE Building, Room 433 (NOTE ROOM CHANGE)

Busch Campus, Rutgers University.

Time:

3:00

Thursday, February 8, 1996

This will be the first in a series of discussions, lead by Sridhar Rajagopolan, about various recent papers in the area.

We will read heavily from the survey paper, ``The Primal-Dual Method for Approximation Algorithms and its Application to Network Design Problems'' by D.P. Williamson and M.X. Goemans. This paper is available on the WWW at

http://theory.lcs.mit.edu/~goemans/

and copies will also be available (hopefully by Wednesday, February 7) at the DIMACS office CORE 406, >from Ida or Cheryl.
