Solving Packing Problem with Weaker Block Solvers
We study the general packing problem with M constraints. In [Jansen and Zhang, TCS 2002] a c(1 + ε)-approximation algorithm for the general packing problem was proposed. A block s...

Distributed Algorithms for Approximating Wireless Network Capacity
—In this paper we consider the problem of maximizing wireless network capacity (a.k.a. one-shot scheduling) in both the protocol and physical models. We give the first distribut...

Better Approximation Guarantees for Job-shop Scheduling
Job-shop scheduling is a classical NP-hard problem. Shmoys, Stein, and Wein presented the first polynomial-time approximation algorithm for this problem that has a good (polylogar...

On the Construction of a Maximum-Lifetime Data Gathering Tree in Sensor Networks: NP-Completeness and Approximation Algorithm
Abstract—Energy efficiency is critical for wireless sensor networks. The data gathering process must be carefully designed to conserve energy and extend the network lifetime. Fo...

Sums of squares based approximation algorithms for MAX-SAT
We investigate the Semidefinite Programming based Sums of squares (SOS) decomposition method, designed for global optimization of polynomials, in the context of the (Maximum) Sati...
