Horn Upper Bounds and Renaming
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...

Approximation of the Joint Spectral Radius of a Set of Matrices Using Sum of Squares
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...

Approximating covering problems by randomized search heuristics using multi-objective models
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...

Analysis of Approximation Algorithms for k-Set Cover Using Factor-Revealing Linear Programs
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...

Fogshop: Real-Time Design and Rendering of Inhomogeneous, Single-Scattering Media
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...

Fast and Distributed Computation of Schedules in Wireless Networks
—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 Performance of Approximating Ordinary Differential Equations by Neural Nets
—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...

Functionally Private Approximations of Negligibly-Biased Estimators
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 ...
