On the Approximability of Budgeted Allocations and Improved Lower Bounds for Submodular Welfare Maximization and GAP
In this paper we consider the following maximum budgeted allocation (MBA) problem: Given a set of m indivisible items and n agents; each agent i willing to pay bij on item j and w...

A Convex Programming Approach to Positive Real Rational Approximation
As system integration evolves and tighter design constraints must be met, it becomes necessary to account for the non-ideal behavior of all the elements in a system. Certain devic...

Fast Approximate PCPs
We investigate the question of when a prover can aid a verifier to reliably compute a function faster than if the verifier were to compute the function on its own. Our focus is ...
