Submodular Approximation: Sampling-based Algorithms and Lower Bounds
We introduce several generalizations of classical computer science problems obtained by replacing simpler objective functions with general submodular functions. The new problems i...

A Primal-Dual Approximation Algorithm for Partial Vertex Cover: Making Educated Guesses
We study the partial vertex cover problem. Given a graph G = (V, E), a weight function w : V → R+ , and an integer s, our goal is to cover all but s edges, by picking a set of v...

Improved Approximation of MAX-CUT on Graphs of Bounded Degree
We analyze the addition of a simple local improvement step to various known randomized approximation algorithms. Let ' 0:87856 denote the best approximation ratio currently k...
