A primal-dual interpretation of two 2-approximation algorithms for the feedback vertex set problem in undirected graphs
Recently, Becker and Geiger and Bafna, Berman and Fujito gave 2-approximation algorithms for the feedback vertex set problem in undirected graphs. We show how their algorithms can...

Algorithms for Implicit Hitting Set Problems
A hitting set for a collection of sets is a set that has a nonempty intersection with each set in the collection; the hitting set problem is to find a hitting set of minimum card...

Fixed-Parameter Tractability Results for Feedback Set Problems in Tournaments
Complementing recent progress on classical complexity and polynomial-time approximability of feedback set problems in (bipartite) tournaments, we extend and partially improve fixed...

On Approximating an Implicit Cover Problem in Biology
Abstract. In an implicit combinatorial optimization problem, the constraints are not enumerated explicitly but rather stated implicitly through equations, other constraints or auxi...

Approximation Algorithms for Partial-Information Based Stochastic Control with Markovian Rewards
We consider a variant of the classic multi-armed bandit problem (MAB), which we call FEEDBACK MAB, where the reward obtained by playing each of n independent arms varies according...
