Approximating the two-level facility location problem via a quasi-greedy approach
We propose a quasi-greedy algorithm for approximating the classical uncapacitated 2-level facility location problem (2-LFLP). Our algorithm, unlike the standard greedy algorithm, ...

Linear Equations Modulo 2 and the L1 Diameter of Convex Bodies
We design a randomized polynomial time algorithm which, given a 3-tensor of real numbers A = {aijk}n i,j,k=1 such that for all i, j, k ∈ {1, . . . , n} we have ai jk = aik j = a...

Probabilistic Checking of Proofs; A New Characterization of NP
We give a new characterization of NP: the class NP contains exactly those languages L for which membership proofs (a proof that an input x is in L) can be verified probabilisticall...

Constant-approximation for target coverage problem in wireless sensor networks
—When a large amount of sensors are randomly deployed into a field, how can we make a sleep/activate schedule for sensors to maximize the lifetime of target coverage in the fie...
