Robust Approximate Cholesky Factorization of Rank-Structured Symmetric Positive Definite Matrices
Abstract. Given a symmetric positive definite matrix A, we compute a structured approximate Cholesky factorization A RT R up to any desired accuracy, where R is an upper triangula...

Approximation Schemes for Steiner Forest on Planar Graphs and Graphs of Bounded Treewidth
We give the first polynomial-time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the Steiner forest problem on planar graphs and, more generally, on graphs of bounded genus. As a first step, w...

The soft heap: an approximate priority queue with optimal error rate
A simple variant of a priority queue, called a soft heap, is introduced. The data structure supports the usual operations: insert, delete, meld, and findmin. Its novelty is to beat...
