Approximate distributed top- k queries
We consider a distributed system where each node keeps a local count for items (similar to elections where nodes are ballot boxes and items are candidates). A top-k query in such ...

Logic-based outer approximation for globally optimal synthesis of process networks
Process network problems can be formulated as Generalized Disjunctive Programs where a logicbased representation is used to deal with the discrete and continuous decisions. A new ...

Fast distributed approximation algorithms for vertex cover and set cover in anonymous networks
We present a distributed algorithm that finds a maximal edge packing in O(∆ + log∗ W) synchronous communication rounds in a weighted graph, independent of the number of nodes...

Approximation in Preemptive Stochastic Online Scheduling
Abstract. We present a first constant performance guarantee for preemptive stochastic scheduling to minimize the sum of weighted completion times. For scheduling jobs with release ...

Validity and Failure of the Boltzmann Approximation of Kinetic Annihilation
This paper introduces a new method to show the validity of a continuum description for the deterministic dynamics of many interacting particles. Here the many particle evolution is...
