Computing the median with uncertainty
We consider a new model for computing with uncertainty. It is desired to compute a function fX1; : : : ; Xn where X1; : : : ; Xn are unknown, but guaranteed to lie in speci ed i...

An efficient approximation for the Generalized Assignment Problem
We present a simple family of algorithms for solving the Generalized Assignment Problem (GAP). Our technique is based on a novel combinatorial translation of any algorithm for the...

Submodular meets Spectral: Greedy Algorithms for Subset Selection, Sparse Approximation and Dictionary Selection
We study the problem of selecting a subset of k random variables from a large set, in order to obtain the best linear prediction of another variable of interest. This problem can ...

An efficient approximation algorithm for the survivable network design problem
The survivable network design problem (SNDP) is to construct a minimum-cost subgraph satisfying certain given edge-connectivity requirements. The first polynomial-time approximati...

Efficient Approximation Algorithms for the Subset-Sums Equality Problem
We investigate the problem of finding two nonempty disjoint subsets of a set of n positive integers, with the objective that the sums of the numbers in the two subsets be as close ...
