Hedging Uncertainty: Approximation Algorithms for Stochastic Optimization Problems
Abstract. We study two-stage, finite-scenario stochastic versions of several combinatorial optimization problems, and provide nearly tight approximation algorithms for them. Our pr...

Deterministic Sampling Algorithms for Network Design
For several NP-hard network design problems, the best known approximation algorithms are remarkably simple randomized algorithms called Sample-Augment algorithms in [11]. The algor...

Approximation algorithms for stochastic orienteering
In the Stochastic Orienteering problem, we are given a metric, where each node also has a job located there with some deterministic reward and a random size. (Think of the jobs as...

LP Rounding Approximation Algorithms for Stochastic Network Design
Real-world networks often need to be designed under uncertainty, with only partial information and predictions of demand available at the outset of the design process. The field ...

Sampling-based Approximation Algorithms for Multi-stage Stochastic Optimization
Stochastic optimization problems provide a means to model uncertainty in the input data where the uncertainty is modeled by a probability distribution over the possible realizatio...
