We consider the problem of approximating a set P of n points in Rd by a j-dimensional subspace under the p measure, in which we wish to minimize the sum of p distances from each p...

The crossing number of a graph is the least number of pairwise edge crossings in a drawing of the graph in the plane. We provide an O(n log n) time constant factor approximation al...
—We investigate approximating joint distributions of random processes with causal dependence tree distributions. Such distributions are particularly useful in providing parsimoni...

Covering and packing integer programs model a large family of combinatorial optimization problems. The current-best approximation algorithms for these are an instance of the basic...
This paper extends the domain theoretic method for solving initial value problems, described in [8], to unbounded vector fields. Based on a sequence of approximations of the vecto...
