Polynomial time approximation schemes for dense instances of NP-hard problems
We present a unified framework for designing polynomial time approximation schemes (PTASs) for “dense” instances of many NP-hard optimization problems, including maximum cut,...

Sampling Bounds for Stochastic Optimization
A large class of stochastic optimization problems can be modeled as minimizing an objective function f that depends on a choice of a vector x ∈ X, as well as on a random external...

Structure-aware sampling on data streams
The massive data streams observed in network monitoring, data processing and scientific studies are typically too large to store. For many applications over such data, we must ob...

Network Design via Core Detouring for Problems without a Core
Some of the currently best-known approximation algorithms for network design are based on random sampling. One of the key steps of such algorithms is connecting a set of source nod...

Optimal Policies for Distributed Data Aggregation in Wireless Sensor Networks
Abstract— We consider the scenario of distributed data aggregation in wireless sensor networks, where each sensor can obtain and estimate the information of the whole sensing fi...
