Feasible and Accurate Algorithms for Covering Semidefinite Programs
In this paper we describe an algorithm to approximately solve a class of semidefinite programs called covering semidefinite programs. This class includes many semidefinite programs...

Self-Concordant Barriers for Convex Approximations of Structured Convex Sets
We show how to approximate the feasible region of structured convex optimization problems by a family of convex sets with explicitly given and efficient (if the accuracy of the ap...

Near optimal online algorithms and fast approximation algorithms for resource allocation problems
We present algorithms for a class of resource allocation problems both in the online setting with stochastic input and in the offline setting. This class of problems contains man...

How Well Can Primal-Dual and Local-Ratio Algorithms Perform?
We define an algorithmic paradigm, the stack model, that captures many primal-dual and local-ratio algorithms for approximating covering and packing problems. The stack model is ...
