In this paper we introduce a new general framework for set covering problems, based on the combination of randomized rounding of the (near-)optimal solution of the Linear Programm...
We investigate the optimality of (1+ )-approximation algorithms obtained via the dimensionality reduction method. We show that: • Any data structure for the (1 + )-approximate n...
We present an algorithm for the c-approximate nearest neighbor problem in a d-dimensional Euclidean space, achieving query time of O(dn1/c2 +o(1) ) and space O(dn + n1+1/c2 +o(1) ...
We consider approximation algorithms for non-uniform buy-at-bulk network design problems. The first nontrivial approximation algorithm for this problem is due to Charikar and Kar...

We establish the exact threshold for the reconstruction problem for a binary asymmetric channel on the b-ary tree, provided that the asymmetry is sufficiently small. This is the ...
