Fixing Max-Product: Convergent Message Passing Algorithms for MAP LP-Relaxations
We present a novel message passing algorithm for approximating the MAP problem in graphical models. The algorithm is similar in structure to max-product but unlike max-product it ...

Approximation algorithms for allocation problems: Improving the factor of 1 - 1/e
Combinatorial allocation problems require allocating items to players in a way that maximizes the total utility. Two such problems received attention recently, and were addressed ...

Asymmetric Traveling Salesman Path and Directed Latency Problems
We study integrality gaps and approximability of two closely related problems on directed graphs. Given a set V of n nodes in an underlying asymmetric metric and two specified nod...

Distributed Approximation of Capacitated Dominating Sets
We study local, distributed algorithms for the capacitated minimum dominating set (CapMDS) problem, which arises in various distributed network applications. Given a network graph...

Multicommodity Demand Flow in a Tree
We consider requests for capacity in a given tree network T = (V, E) where each edge of the tree has some integer capacity ue. Each request consists of an integer demand df and a ...
