Howard's policy iteration algorithm is one of the most widely used algorithms for finding optimal policies for controlling Markov Decision Processes (MDPs). When applied to we...
In this paper we study the k-means clustering problem. It is well-known that the general version of this problem is NP-hard. Numerous approximation algorithms have been proposed fo...
We exhibit three approximation algorithms for the allocation problem in combinatorial auctions with complement free bidders. The running time of these algorithms is polynomial in ...
This paper presents an e cient hardware algorithm for variable-precision logarithm. The algorithm uses an iterative te chnique that employs table lookups and polynomial approximat...

Given an undirected graph G, the maximal planar subgraph problem is to determine a planar subgraph H of G such that no edge of G-H can be added to H without destroying planarity. P...
