Facility location: distributed approximation
In this paper, we initiate the study of the approximability of the facility location problem in a distributed setting. In particular, we explore a trade-off between the amount of...

A Unifying Polyhedral Approximation Framework for Convex Optimization
Abstract. We propose a unifying framework for polyhedral approximation in convex optimization. It subsumes classical methods, such as cutting plane and simplicial decomposition, bu...
