Local ratio: a unified framework for approximation algorithms. In memoriam Shimon Even 1935-2004.

The local ratio technique is a methodology for the design and analysis of algorithms for a broad range of optimization problems. The technique is remarkably simple and elegant, and yet can be applied to several classical and fundamental problems (including covering problems, packing problems, and sc...
