Connected facility location via random facility sampling and core detouring
We present a simple randomized algorithmic framework for connected facility location problems. The basic idea is as follows: We run a black-box approximation algorithm for the unc...

Approximating passage time distributions in queueing models by Bayesian expansion
We introduce Bayesian Expansion (BE), an approximate numerical technique for passage time distribution analysis in queueing networks. BE uses a class of Bayesian networks to appro...

Approximations of posterior distributions in blind deconvolution using variational methods
In this paper the blind deconvolution problem is formulated using the variational framework. With its use approximations of the involved probability distributions are developed re...

Improved decremental algorithms for maintaining transitive closure and all-pairs shortest paths
We present improved algorithms for maintaining transitive closure and all-pairs shortest paths/distances in a digraph under deletion of edges. For the problem of transitive closur...
