The area of approximation algorithms for the Steiner tree problem in graphs has seen continuous progress over the last years. Currently the best approximation
Given a graph H = (V, F) with edge weights {w(e) : e F}, the weighted degree of a node v in H is {w(vu) : vu F}. We give bicriteria approximation algorithms for problems that see...
Abstract-- We consider reinforcement learning, and in particular, the Q-learning algorithm in large state and action spaces. In order to cope with the size of the spaces, a functio...
We study the complexity of approximating the smallest eigenvalue of −∆ + q with Dirichlet boundary conditions on the d-dimensional unit cube. Here ∆ is the Laplacian, and th...
We show that the problem of computing a minimum distortion embedding of a given graph into a path remains NP-hard when the input graph is restricted to a bipartite, cobipartite, o...
