We prove that approximating the Max Acyclic Subgraph problem within a factor better than 1/2 is Unique-Games hard. Specifically, for every constant ε > 0 the following holds:...
Abstract. Since in general it is NP-hard to solve the minimum dominating set problem even approximatively, a lot of work has been dedicated to central and distributed approximation...
Our goal is to analyze regularized image reconstruction methods such as penalized likelihood with respect to the performance of the Channelized Hotelling Observer (CHO) in the tas...
We study integrated prefetching and caching in single and parallel disk systems. A recent approach used linear programming to solve the problem. We show that integrated prefetching...
We discuss two approximation approaches, the primal-dual schema and the local-ratio technique. We present two relatively simple frameworks, one for each approach, which extend know...
