Abstract. We consider the problem of computing tractable approximations to CNF formulas, extending the approach of Selman and Kautz to compute the Horn-LUB to involve renaming of v...
We provide an asymptotically tight, computationally efficient approximation of the joint spectral radius of a set of matrices using sum of squares (SOS) programming. The approach i...
The main aim of randomized search heuristics is to produce good approximations of optimal solutions within a small amount of time. In contrast to numerous experimental results, th...

We present new combinatorial approximation algorithms for k-set cover. Previous approaches are based on extending the greedy algorithm by efficiently handling small sets. The new a...

We describe a new, analytic approximation to the airlight integral from scattering media whose density is modeled as a sum of Gaussians. The approximation supports real-time rende...

—In a wireless network with node exclusive spectrum sharing, two popular schedules are maximum weight matching (MWM) schedule and maximum size matching (MSM) schedule. The former...
—The dynamics of many systems are described by ordinary differential equations (ODE). Solving ODEs with standard methods (i.e. numerical integration) needs a high amount of compu...
The literature on algorithmic mechanism design is mostly concerned with game-theoretic versions of optimization problems to which standard economic money-based mechanisms cannot b...
ABSTRACT. We study functionally private approximations. An approximation function g is functionally private with respect to f if, for any input x, g(x) reveals no more information ...
— In this work we study the problem of determining the throughput capacity of a wireless network. We propose a scheduling algorithm to achieve this capacity within an approximati...
