Abstract. The vertex cover problem is a classical NP-complete problem for which the best worst-case approximation ratio is 2− o(1). In this paper, we use a collection of simple g...
We suggest a local hybrid approximation scheme based on polynomials and radial basis functions, and use it to modify the scattered data fitting algorithm of [7]. Similar to that a...
We formulate the problem of computing equilibria in multiplayer games represented by arbitrary undirected graphs as a constraint satisfaction problem and present two algorithms. T...

We give the first black-box reduction from arbitrary approximation algorithms to truthful approximation mechanisms for a non-trivial class of multiparameter problems. Specifically,...
We present a new algorithm for non-unitary approximate joint diagonalization (AJD), based on a “natural gradient”-type multiplicative update of the diagonalizing matrix, comple...
