Abstract. Shop scheduling problems are known to be notoriously intractable, both in theory and practice. In this paper we give a randomized approximation algorithm for flow shop s...
We introduce a new problem in the study of doubling spaces: Given a point set S and a target dimension d , remove from S the fewest number of points so that the remaining set has d...
We give a (1 - 1/e)-approximation algorithm for the Max-Profit Generalized Assignment Problem (Max-GAP) with fixed profits when the profit (but not necessarily the size) of every ...
Iterative algorithm based on quantum tunneling is proposed by making use of mean-eld approximation. W e apply our method to the problem of BW image reconstruction (IR). Its perfor...
We give subexponential time approximation algorithms for UNIQUE GAMES and the SMALL-SET EXPANSION. Specifically, for some absolute constant c, we give:
