Symmetry and Approximability of Submodular Maximization Problems
Abstract— A number of recent results on optimization problems involving submodular functions have made use of the ”multilinear relaxation” of the problem [3], [8], [24], [14]...

Approximation Algorithms for Asymmetric TSP by Decomposing Directed Regular Multigraphs
A directed multigraph is said to be d-regular if the indegree and outdegree of every vertex is exactly d. By Hall’s theorem one can represent such a multigraph as a combination ...

How Well Can Primal-Dual and Local-Ratio Algorithms Perform?
We define an algorithmic paradigm, the stack model, that captures many primal-dual and local-ratio algorithms for approximating covering and packing problems. The stack model is ...

Facility location: distributed approximation
In this paper, we initiate the study of the approximability of the facility location problem in a distributed setting. In particular, we explore a trade-off between the amount of...

Computationally-Feasible Truthful Auctions for Convex Bundles
In many economic settings, convex figures on the plane are for sale. For example, one might want to sell advertising space on a newspaper page. Selfish agents must be motivated ...
