We show that recent results of Coppersmith, Boneh, Durfee and Howgrave-Graham actually apply in the more general setting of (partially) approximate common divisors. This leads us t...
We present a general approximation technique for a large class of graph problems. Our technique mostly applies to problems of covering, at minimum cost, the vertices of a graph wit...
We describe a new variational lower-bound on the minimum energy configuration of a planar binary Markov Random Field (MRF). Our method is based on adding auxiliary nodes to every...

We consider ranking and clustering problems related to the aggregation of inconsistent information. Ailon, Charikar, and Newman [1] proposed randomized constant factor approximatio...
Abstract. In this paper we consider a generalization of the edge dominating set (EDS) problem, in which each edge e needs to be covered be times and refer to this as the b-EDS prob...
