Streaming Algorithms with One-Sided Estimation
Abstract. We study the space complexity of randomized streaming algorithms that provide one-sided approximation guarantees; e.g., the algorithm always returns an overestimate of th...

A Deterministic Approximation Algorithm for Maximum 2-Path Packing
This paper deals with the maximum-weight 2-path packing problem (M2PP), which is the problem of computing a set of vertex-disjoint paths of length 2 in a given edge-weighted compl...

A stochastic approximation method with max-norm projections and its applications to the Q-learning algorithm
In this paper, we develop a stochastic approximation method to solve a monotone estimation problem and use this method to enhance the empirical performance of the Q-learning algor...

Submodular meets Spectral: Greedy Algorithms for Subset Selection, Sparse Approximation and Dictionary Selection
We study the problem of selecting a subset of k random variables from a large set, in order to obtain the best linear prediction of another variable of interest. This problem can ...

PTAS for maximum weight independent set problem with random weights in bounded degree graphs
Finding the largest independent set in a graph is a notoriously difficult NP-complete combinatorial optimization problem. Moreover, even for graphs with largest degree 3, no polyn...
