On Euclidean Embeddings and Bandwidth Minimization
We study Euclidean embeddings of Euclidean metrics and present the following four results: (1) an O(log3 n √ log log n) approximation for minimum bandwidth in conjunction with a ...

FPRAS for computing a lower bound for weighted matching polynomial of graphs
We give a fully polynomial randomized approximation scheme to compute a lower bound for the matching polynomial of any weighted graph at a positive argument. For the matching poly...

The double CFTP method
We consider the problem of the exact simulation of random variables Z that satisfy the distributional identity Z L = V Y + (1 − V )Z, where V ∈ [0, 1] and Y are independent, an...

On Approximating Multi-Criteria TSP
Abstract. We present approximation algorithms for almost all variants of the multicriteria traveling salesman problem (TSP), whose performances are independent of the number k of c...

Quantile Regression Forests
Random forests were introduced as a machine learning tool in Breiman (2001) and have since proven to be very popular and powerful for high-dimensional regression and classificatio...
