Approximation Algorithms for 2-Stage Stochastic Optimization Problems
Abstract. Stochastic optimization is a leading approach to model optimization problems in which there is uncertainty in the input data, whether from measurement noise or an inabili...

Markov Chain Monte Carlo Combined with Deterministic Methods for Markov Random Field Optimization
Many vision problems have been formulated as en- ergy minimization problems and there have been signif- icant advances in energy minimization algorithms. The most widely-used energ...

A simple heuristic for reducing the number of scenarios in two-stage stochastic programming
In this work we address the problem of solving multiscenario optimization models that are deterministic equivalents of two-stage stochastic programs. We present a heuristic approx...

Optimally Adaptive Integration of Univariate Lipschitz Functions
We consider the problem of approximately integrating a Lipschitz function f (with a known Lipschitz constant) over an interval. The goal is to achieve an error of at most using as...

Hedging Uncertainty: Approximation Algorithms for Stochastic Optimization Problems
Abstract. We study two-stage, finite-scenario stochastic versions of several combinatorial optimization problems, and provide nearly tight approximation algorithms for them. Our pr...
