Relaxed Survey Propagation: A Sum-Product Algorithm for Max-SAT
The survey propagation (SP) algorithm has been shown to work well on large instances of the random 3-SAT problem near its phase transition. It was shown that SP estimates marginal...

Geometric Chemotaxis: A Biologically-Inspired Framework for a Class of Wireless Coverage Problems
Abstract-- We present a new, biologically-inspired algorithm for the problem of covering a given region with wireless "units" (sensors or base-stations). The general prob...

Approximation Algorithms for Asymmetric TSP by Decomposing Directed Regular Multigraphs
A directed multigraph is said to be d-regular if the indegree and outdegree of every vertex is exactly d. By Hall’s theorem one can represent such a multigraph as a combination ...

Cross-Composition: A New Technique for Kernelization Lower Bounds
We introduce a new technique for proving kernelization lower bounds, called cross-composition. A classical problem L cross-composes into a parameterized problem Q if an instance o...
