In this paper, we present two techniques to analyze greedy approximation with nonsubmodular functions restricted submodularity and shifted submodularity. As an application of the ...

In the last 25 years approximation algorithms for discrete optimization problems have been in the center of research in the fields of mathematical programming and computer science...
In the present paper, we investigate the approximation of a function by a polynomial with floating-point coefficients; we are looking for the best approximation in the L2 sense....
We present a lossless compression algorithm, GenCompress, for genetic sequences, based on searching for approximate repeats. Our algorithm achieves the best compression ratios for...
There exists a polynomial time algorithm to compute the pathwidth of outerplanar graphs [3], but the large exponent makes this algorithm impractical. In this paper, we give an alg...
