On the Performance of Approximate Equilibria in Congestion Games
We study the performance of approximate Nash equilibria for congestion games with polynomial latency functions. We consider how much the price of anarchy worsens and how much the ...

Approximate distributed top- k queries
We consider a distributed system where each node keeps a local count for items (similar to elections where nodes are ballot boxes and items are candidates). A top-k query in such ...

A Windowed Weighted Approach for Approximate Cyclic String Matching
A method for measuring dissimilarities between cyclic strings is introduced. It computes a weighted mean between two (lower and upper) bounds of the exact cyclic edit distance, wh...
