Approximation Algorithms for the Maximum Induced Planar and Outerplanar Subgraph Problems
The task of finding the largest subset of vertices of a graph that induces a planar subgraph is known as the Maximum Induced Planar Subgraph problem (MIPS). In this paper, some n...

Approximation Algorithms for 2-Stage Stochastic Optimization Problems
Abstract. Stochastic optimization is a leading approach to model optimization problems in which there is uncertainty in the input data, whether from measurement noise or an inabili...

Approximation Algorithms for the Loop Cutset Problem
We show how to nd a minimum weight loop cutset in a Bayesian network with high probability. Finding such a loop cutset is the rst step in the method of conditioning for inference....

Confidently Cutting a Cake into Approximately Fair Pieces
We give a randomized protocol for the classic cake cutting problem that guarantees approximate proportional fairness, and with high probability uses a linear number of cuts.
