An Approximation Algorithm for Approximation Rank
One of the strongest techniques available for showing lower bounds on quantum communication complexity is the logarithm of the approximation rank of the communication matrix— th...

On the Complexity of the Asymmetric VPN Problem
We give the first constant factor approximation algorithm for the asymmetric Virtual Private Network (Vpn) problem with arbitrary concave costs. We even show the stronger result, ...

The complexity of maximum matroid-greedoid intersection and weighted greedoid maximization,
The maximum intersection problem for a matroid and a greedoid, given by polynomialtime oracles, is shown NP-hard by expressing the satisfiability of boolean formulas in 3-conjunct...

How to rank with few errors: A PTAS for Weighted Feedback Arc Set on Tournaments
Suppose you ran a chess tournament, everybody played everybody, and you wanted to use the results to rank everybody. Unless you were really lucky, the results would not be acyclic...

Improved Algorithms for Polynomial-Time Decay and Time-Decay with Additive Error
Abstract. We consider the problem of maintaining polynomial and exponential decay aggregates of a data stream, where the weight of values seen from the stream diminishes as time el...
