We present a general framework for approximating several NP-hard problems that have two underlying properties in common. First, the problems we consider can be formulated as intege...
We study semidefinite programming relaxations of Vertex Cover arising from repeated applications of the LS+ “lift-and-project” method of Lovasz and Schrijver starting from th...
The problem of computing a maximum a posteriori (MAP) configuration is a central computational challenge associated with Markov random fields. There has been some focus on “tr...

We study linear programming relaxations of Vertex Cover and Max Cut arising from repeated applications of the "lift-and-project" method of Lovasz and Schrijver starting ...
We consider the problem of testing whether the maximum additive integrality gap of a family of integer programs in standard form is bounded by a given constant. This can be viewed...
