: We give the first combinatorial approximation algorithm for MAXCUT that beats the trivial 0.5 factor by a constant. The main partitioning procedure is very intuitive, natural, an...
Bayesian Network structures with a maximum in-degree of k can be approximated with respect to a positive scoring metric up to an factor of 1/k. Key words: approximation algorithm,...
Arpe and Manthey [Algorithmica’09] recently studied the minimum ANDcircuit problem, which is a circuit minimization problem, and showed some results including approximation algo...
Recently, a convergence proof of stochastic search algorithms toward finite size Pareto set approximations of continuous multi-objective optimization problems has been given. The...
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...
