Faster Generation of Random Spanning Trees
In this paper, we set forth a new algorithm for generating approximately uniformly random spanning trees in undirected graphs. We show how to sample from a distribution that is wi...

On Column-Restricted and Priority Covering Integer Programs
In a column-restricted covering integer program (CCIP), all the non-zero entries of any column of the constraint matrix are equal. Such programs capture capacitated versions of cov...

A faster approximation scheme for timing driven minimum cost layer assignment
As VLSI technology moves to the 65nm node and beyond, interconnect delay greatly limits the circuit performance. As a critical component in interconnect synthesis, layer assignmen...

On convex relaxations of quadrilinear terms
The best known method to find exact or at least -approximate solutions to polynomial programming problems is the spatial Branch-and-Bound algorithm, which rests on computing lower...

Approximating power indices
Many multiagent domains where cooperation among agents is crucial to achieving a common goal can be modeled as coalitional games. However, in many of these domains, agents are une...
