MAX SAT and MAX NAE-SAT are central problems in theoretical computer science. We present an approximation algorithm for MAX NAE-SAT with a conjectured performance guarantee of 0.82...
Job-shop scheduling is a classical NP-hard problem. Shmoys, Stein, and Wein presented the first polynomial-time approximation algorithm for this problem that has a good (polylogar...

In this paper, we introduce cross-multiplicative transfer function (CMTF) approximation for modeling linear systems in the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) domain. We assume tha...
In this paper we introduce a new general framework for set covering problems, based on the combination of randomized rounding of the (near-)optimal solution of the Linear Programm...
It seems likely that improvements in arithmetic speed will continue to outpace advances in communication bandwidth. Furthermore, as more and more problems are working on huge datas...
