On the Gaussian approximation of vector-valued multiple integrals
: By combining the findings of two recent, seminal papers by Nualart, Peccati and Tudor, we get that the convergence in law of any sequence of vector-valued multiple integrals Fn ...

The Expected Size of the Rule k Dominating Set
Dai, Li, and Wu proposed Rule k, a localized approximation algorithm that attempts to find a small connected dominating set in a graph. In this paper we consider the "average...

Improved approximation algorithms for multidimensional bin packing problems
In this paper we introduce a new general framework for set covering problems, based on the combination of randomized rounding of the (near-)optimal solution of the Linear Programm...

On the Complexity of Approximating the VC Dimension
We study the complexity of approximating the VC dimension of a collection of sets, when the sets are encoded succinctly by a small circuit. We show that this problem is • Σp 3-...

A Deterministic Approximation Algorithm for Maximum 2-Path Packing
This paper deals with the maximum-weight 2-path packing problem (M2PP), which is the problem of computing a set of vertex-disjoint paths of length 2 in a given edge-weighted compl...
