Fast approximation of the permanent for very dense problems
Approximation of the permanent of a matrix with nonnegative entries is a well studied problem. The most successful approach to date for general matrices uses Markov chains to appr...

Approximation schemes for minimum 2-edge-connected and biconnected subgraphs in planar graphs
Given an undirected graph, finding either a minimum 2-edge-connected spanning subgraph or a minimum 2vertex-connected (biconnected) spanning subgraph is MaxSNP-hard. We show that ...

On improving approximate solutions by evolutionary algorithms
Abstract—Hybrid methods are very popular for solving problems from combinatorial optimization. In contrast to this the theoretical understanding of the interplay of different opt...

Approximation Algorithms for Unique Games
We present a polynomial time algorithm based on semidefinite programming that, given a unique game of value 1 − O(1/ log n), satisfies a constant fraction of constraints, wher...

Approximate Shortest Descent Path on a Terrain
A path from a point s to a point t on the surface of a polyhedral terrain is said to be descent if for every pair of points p = (x(p), y(p), z(p)) and q = (x(q), y(q), z(q)) on th...
