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...

Indifference-zone subset selection procedures: using sample means to improve efficiency
Two-stage selection procedures have been widely studied and applied in determining the required sample size (i.e., the number of replications or batches) for selecting the best of...

Improved results for a memory allocation problem
We consider a memory allocation problem. This problem can be modeled as a version of bin packing where items may be split, but each bin may contain at most two (parts of) items. T...

On the complexity of approximating k-set packing
Given a k-uniform hypergraph, the Maximum k-Set Packing problem is to find the maximum disjoint set of edges. We prove that this problem cannot be efficiently approximated to with...

Analyzing Walksat on random formulas
Let Φ be a uniformly distributed random k-SAT formula with n variables and m clauses. We prove that the Walksat algorithm from [16, 17] finds a satisfying assignment of Φ in pol...
