Covering Games: Approximation through Non-cooperation
We propose approximation algorithms under game-theoretic considerations. We indroduce and study the general covering problem which is a natural generalization of the well-studied m...

Filtered Cartesian Flattening: An Approximation Technique for Optimally Selecting Features while Adhering to Resource Constraint
Software Product-lines (SPLs) use modular software components that can be reconfigured into different variants for different requirements sets. Feature modeling is a common method...

Fully polynomial time approximation schemes for stochastic dynamic programs
We develop a framework for obtaining Fully Polynomial Time Approximation Schemes (FPTASs) for stochastic univariate dynamic programs with either convex or monotone single-period c...

Amplified Hardness of Approximation for VCG-Based Mechanisms
If a two-player social welfare maximization problem does not admit a PTAS, we prove that any maximal-in-range truthful mechanism that runs in polynomial time cannot achieve an app...

Convex approximation techniques for joint multiuser downlink beamforming and admission control
Multiuser downlink beamforming under quality of service (QoS) constraints has attracted considerable interest in recent years, because it is particularly appealing from a network o...
