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...

Functions with prescribed best linear approximations
A common problem in applied mathematics is that of finding a function in a Hilbert space with prescribed best approximations from a finite number of closed vector subspaces. In ...

Counting Solution Clusters in Graph Coloring Problems Using Belief Propagation
We show that an important and computationally challenging solution space feature of the graph coloring problem (COL), namely the number of clusters of solutions, can be accurately...
