Retrospective Approximation Algorithms for the Multidimensional Stochastic Root-Finding Problem
The stochastic root-finding problem (SRFP) is that of solving a system of q equations in q unknowns using only an oracle that provides estimates of the function values. This paper...

Submodular Approximation: Sampling-based Algorithms and Lower Bounds
We introduce several generalizations of classical computer science problems obtained by replacing simpler objective functions with general submodular functions. The new problems i...

Faster Algorithms for All-pairs Approximate Shortest Paths in Undirected Graphs
Let G = (V, E) be a weighted undirected graph having non-negative edge weights. An estimate ˆδ(u, v) of the actual distance δ(u, v) between u, v ∈ V is said to be of stretch t...

Approximation Algorithms and Mechanism Design for Minimax Approval Voting
We consider approval voting elections in which each voter votes for a (possibly empty) set of candidates and the outcome consists of a set of k candidates for some parameter k, e....

Algorithms for Approximate Shortest Path Queries on Weighted Polyhedral Surfaces
We consider the well known geometric problem of determining shortest paths between pairs of points on a polyhedral surface P, where P consists of triangular faces with positive we...
