Beating the Random Ordering is Hard: Inapproximability of Maximum Acyclic Subgraph
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:...

Minimum Dominating Set Approximation in Graphs of Bounded Arboricity
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...

Analytical Approach to Channelized Hotelling Observer Performance For Regularized Tomographic Image Reconstruction
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...

Minimizing Stall Time in Single and Parallel Disk Systems Using Multicommodity Network Flows
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...

On the Equivalence between the Primal-Dual Schema and the Local-Ratio Technique
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...
