Greedy Approximation via Duality for Packing, Combinatorial Auctions and Routing
We study simple greedy approximation algorithms for general class of integer packing problems. We provide a novel analysis based on the duality theory of linear programming. This e...

The Bayesian Learner is Optimal for Noisy Binary Search (and Pretty Good for Quantum as Well)
We use a Bayesian approach to optimally solve problems in noisy binary search. We deal with two variants: • Each comparison is erroneous with independent probability 1 − p. â€...

Tight Approximability Results for Test Set Problems in Bioinformatics
In this paper, we investigate the test set problem and its variations that appear in a variety of applications. In general, we are given a universe of objects to be “distinguish...

Optimal Scheduling of Contract Algorithms for Anytime Problems
A contract algorithm is an algorithm which is given, as part of the input, a specified amount of allowable computation time. The algorithm must then compute a solution within the ...
