An Approximation Algorithm for Approximation Rank
One of the strongest techniques available for showing lower bounds on quantum communication complexity is the logarithm of the approximation rank of the communication matrix— th...

Competitive Online Approximation of the Optimal Search Ratio
How efficiently can we search an unknown environment for a goal in unknown position? How much would it help if the environment were known? We answer these questions for simple poly...

Approximability of Robust Network Design
We consider robust network design problems where the set of feasible demands may be given by an arbitrary polytope or convex body more generally. This model, introduced by BenAmeu...

Constant Approximation Algorithms for Embedding Graph Metrics into Trees and Outerplanar Graphs
We present a simple factor 6 algorithm for approximating the optimal multiplicative distortion of embedding (unweighted) graph metrics into tree metrics (thus improving and simplif...

Hardness and approximation of minimum distortion embeddings
We show that the problem of computing a minimum distortion embedding of a given graph into a path remains NP-hard when the input graph is restricted to a bipartite, cobipartite, o...
