Adaptive Simulated Annealing: A Near-optimal Connection between Sampling and Counting
We present a near-optimal reduction from approximately counting the cardinality of a discrete set to approximately sampling elements of the set. An important application of our wo...

On the Hardness of Welfare Maximization in Combinatorial Auctions with Submodular Valuations
We present a new type of monotone submodular functions: multi-peak submodular functions. Roughly speaking, given a family of sets F, we construct a monotone submodular function f ...

Some Interval Approximation Techniques for MINLP
MINLP problems are hard constrained optimization problems, with nonlinear constraints and mixed discrete continuous variables. They can be solved using a Branch-and-Bound scheme c...
