Approximation Algorithms for Unique Games
We present a polynomial time algorithm based on semidefinite programming that, given a unique game of value 1 − O(1/ log n), satisfies a constant fraction of constraints, wher...

A Simple 3-Approximation of Minimum Manhattan Networks
Given a set P of n points in the plane, a Manhattan network of P is a network that contains a rectilinear shortest path between every pair of points of P. A minimum Manhattan netw...

Structure and metaheuristics
Metaheuristics have often been shown to be effective for difficult combinatorial optimization problems. The reason for that, however, remains unclear. A framework for a theory of ...

SDP-Based Algorithms for Maximum Independent Set Problems on Hypergraphs
Abstract. This paper deals with approximations of maximum independent sets in non-uniform hypergraphs of low degree. We obtain the first performance ratio that is sublinear in term...

Matching Polyhedral Terrains Using Overlays of Envelopes
For a collection F of d-variate piecewise linear functions of overall combinatorial complexity n, the lower envelope E(F) of F is the pointwise minimum of these functions. The min...
