— Recent advances in microelectronic technology have made it possible to construct compact and inexpensive wireless sensors. Sensor networks have received significant attention ...
In this paper, we investigate whether a constant round Lasserre Semi-definite Programming (SDP) relaxation might give a good approximation to the UNIQUE GAMES problem. We show tha...
Given an undirected graph, finding either a minimum 2-edge-connected spanning subgraph or a minimum 2vertex-connected (biconnected) spanning subgraph is MaxSNP-hard. We show that ...

We consider the classical finite-state discounted Markovian decision problem, and we introduce a new policy iteration-like algorithm for finding the optimal state costs or Q-facto...
Abstract— As VLSI technology enters the nanoscale regime, interconnect delay becomes the bottleneck of circuit performance. Compared to gate delays, wires are becoming increasing...
