An improved micro-architecture for function approximation using piecewise quadratic interpolation
We present a new micro-architecture for evaluating functions based on piecewise quadratic interpolation. The micro-architecture consists mainly of a look-up table and two multiply...

Geometric Variance Reduction in Markov Chains: Application to Value Function and Gradient Estimation
We study a sequential variance reduction technique for Monte Carlo estimation of functionals in Markov Chains. The method is based on designing sequential control variates using s...

An Improved Approximation Algorithm for Multiway Cut
Given an undirected graph with edge costs and a subset of k nodes called terminals, a multiway cut is a subset of edges whose removal disconnects each terminal from the rest. Mult...

Gadgets, Approximation, and Linear Programming
We present a linear programming-based method for nding \gadgets", i.e., combinatorial structures reducing constraints of one optimization problem to constraints of another. A...
