Fast direct policy evaluation using multiscale analysis of Markov diffusion processes
Policy evaluation is a critical step in the approximate solution of large Markov decision processes (MDPs), typically requiring O(|S|3 ) to directly solve the Bellman system of |S...

PTAS for maximum weight independent set problem with random weights in bounded degree graphs
Finding the largest independent set in a graph is a notoriously difficult NP-complete combinatorial optimization problem. Moreover, even for graphs with largest degree 3, no polyn...

Computing Minimum Diameter Color-Spanning Sets
We study the minimum diameter color-spanning set problem which has recently drawn some attention in the database community. We show that the problem can be solved in polynomial tim...

Precedence constrained scheduling in (2 - 7/(3p+1)) optimal
We present a polynomial time approximation algorithm for unit time precedence constrained scheduling. Our algorithm guarantees schedules which are at most 2 - 7 3p+1 factor as lon...

Approximation algorithms for combinatorial auctions with complement-free bidders
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 ...
