We present a unified framework for designing polynomial time approximation schemes (PTASs) for “dense” instances of many NP-hard optimization problems, including maximum cut,...
—We introduce a novel approach to multi-hop routing in wireless networks. Instead of the usual graph description we characterize the network by the packet delivery ratio matrix w...

Most algorithms for computing diagnoses within a modelbased diagnosis framework are deterministic. Such algorithms guarantee soundness and completeness, but are P 2 hard. To overc...

Abstract. Extensions of the randomized tournaments techniques introduced in [6, 7] to approximate solutions of 1-median and diameter computation of finite subsets of general metri...
Abstract. This paper evaluates the power of a new scheme that generates search heuristics mechanically. This approach was presented and evaluated rst in the context of optimization...
