On the complexity of computational problems regarding distributions (a survey)
We consider two basic computational problems regarding discrete probability distributions: (1) approximating the statistical difference (aka variation distance) between two given d...

Facility location: distributed approximation
In this paper, we initiate the study of the approximability of the facility location problem in a distributed setting. In particular, we explore a trade-off between the amount of...

Approximating Maximum Weight Cycle Covers in Directed Graphs with Weights Zero and One
A cycle cover of a graph is a spanning subgraph each node of which is part of exactly one simple cycle. A k-cycle cover is a cycle cover where each cycle has length at least k. Gi...

On Approximating Minimum Infrequent and Maximum Frequent Sets
The maximum cardinality of a frequent set as well as the minimum cardinality of an infrequent set are important characteristic numbers in frequent (item) set mining. Gunopulos et a...

Approximation Schemes for Scheduling
We discuss scheduling problems with m identical machines and n jobs where each job has to be assigned to some machine. The goal is to optimize objective functions that solely depe...
