Quality of LP-Based Approximations for Highly Combinatorial Problems
We study the quality of LP-based approximation methods for pure combinatorial problems. We found that the quality of the LPrelaxation is a direct function of the underlying constra...

Fast Approximate PCPs for Multidimensional Bin-Packing Problems
Abstract. We consider approximate PCPs for multidimensional bin-packing problems. In particular, we show how a verifier can be quickly convinced that a set of multidimensional blo...

A new approximation algorithm for the multilevel facility location problem
In this paper we propose a new integer programming formulation for the multilevel facility location problem and a novel 3-approximation algorithm based on LP rounding. The linear ...

Approximating the Problem, not the Solution: An Alternative View of Point Set Matching
This work discusses the issue of approximation in point set matching problems. In general, one may have two classes of approximations when tackling a matching problem: a representa...

Approximating the single source unsplittable min-cost flow problem
Abstract. In the single source unsplittable min-cost flow problem, commodities must be routed simultaneously from a common source vertex to certain destination vertices in a given ...
