For several NP-hard network design problems, the best known approximation algorithms are remarkably simple randomized algorithms called Sample-Augment algorithms in [11]. The algor...
The field of stochastic optimization studies decision making under uncertainty, when only probabilistic information about the future is available. Finding approximate solutions to...
The need for fast and vast dissemination of research results has led a new trend such that more number of authors post their documents to personal or group Web spaces so that other...
