A Faster, Better Approximation Algorithm for the Minimum Latency Problem
We give a 7.18-approximation algorithm for the minimum latency problem that uses only O(n log n) calls to the prize-collecting Steiner tree (PCST) subroutine of Goemans and Willia...

Approximation algorithms for combinatorial auctions with complement-free bidders
We exhibit three approximation algorithms for the allocation problem in combinatorial auctions with complement free bidders. The running time of these algorithms is polynomial in ...

Approximation algorithms and hardness results for labeled connectivity problems
Let G = (V, E) be a connected multigraph, whose edges are associated with labels specified by an integer-valued function L : E → N. In addition, each label ℓ ∈ N has a non-...

A fast approximate joint diagonalization algorithm using a criterion with a block diagonal weight matrix
We propose a new algorithm for Approximate Joint Diagonalization (AJD) with two main advantages over existing state-of-the-art algorithms: Improved overall running speed, especial...

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...
