In the k-median problem we are given a set S of n points in a metric space and a positive integer k. We desire to locate k medians in space, such that the sum of the distances fro...
The class of constraint satisfactions problems (CSPs) captures many fundamental combinatorial optimization problems such as Max Cut, Max q-Cut, Unique Games, and Max k-Sat. Recent...
A dynamic geometric data stream consists of a sequence of m insert/delete operations of points from the discrete space {1, . . . , ∆}d [26]. We develop streaming (1 + )-approxim...
This paper continues the investigation of the connection between probabilistically checkable proofs (PCPs) and the approximability of NP-optimization problems. The emphasis is on p...
Consider a set of signals fs : {1, . . . , N} [0, . . . , M] appearing as a stream of tuples (i, fs(i)) in arbitrary order of i and s. We would like to devise one pass approximat...
