Faster approximation algorithms for the minimum latency problem
We give a 7.18-approximation algorithm for the minimum latency problem that uses only O(n log n) calls to the prize-collecting Steiner tree (PCST) subroutine of Goemans and Willia...

Boosted sampling: approximation algorithms for stochastic optimization
Several combinatorial optimization problems choose elements to minimize the total cost of constructing a feasible solution that satisfies requirements of clients. In the STEINER T...

How to Pay, Come What May: Approximation Algorithms for Demand-Robust Covering Problems
Robust optimization has traditionally focused on uncertainty in data and costs in optimization problems to formulate models whose solutions will be optimal in the worstcase among ...

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...

On the Limitations of Greedy Mechanism Design for Truthful Combinatorial Auctions
We study the combinatorial auction (CA) problem, in which m objects are sold to rational agents and the goal is to maximize social welfare. Of particular interest is the special ca...
