We introduce a natural generalization of submodular set cover and exact active learning with a finite hypothesis class (query learning). We call this new problem interactive submo...
—We consider the problem of short division — i.e., approximate quotient — of multiple-precision integers. We present ready-to-implement algorithms that yield an approximation...
Abstract. We study an extension of the set cover problem, the connected set cover problem, the problem is to find a set cover of minimal size that satisfies some connectivity con...
In multicriteria optimization, several objective functions, conflicting with each other, have to be minimized simultaneously. We propose a new efficient method for approximating t...
We study integrality gaps and approximability of two closely related problems on directed graphs. Given a set V of n nodes in an underlying asymmetric metric and two specified nod...
