A factor 1/2 approximation algorithm for two-stage stochastic matching problems
We introduce the two-stage stochastic maximum-weight matching problem and demonstrate that this problem is NP-complete. We give a factor 1 2 approximation algorithm and prove its ...

Approximation algorithms for allocation problems: Improving the factor of 1 - 1/e
Combinatorial allocation problems require allocating items to players in a way that maximizes the total utility. Two such problems received attention recently, and were addressed ...

A Constant-Factor Approximation Algorithm for the Multicommodity
We present the first constant-factor approximation algorithm for network design with multiple commodities and economies of scale. We consider the rent-or-buy problem, a type of m...

Low-Dimensional Polytope Approximation and Its Applications to Nonnegative Matrix Factorization
In this study, nonnegative matrix factorization is recast as the problem of approximating a polytope on the probability simplex by another polytope with fewer facets. Working on th...
