How to rank with few errors
We present a polynomial time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the minimum feedback arc set problem on tournaments. A simple weighted generalization gives a PTAS for KemenyYoung ran...

Approximation Schemes for Steiner Forest on Planar Graphs and Graphs of Bounded Treewidth
We give the first polynomial-time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the Steiner forest problem on planar graphs and, more generally, on graphs of bounded genus. As a first step, w...

Faster Deterministic Gossiping in Directed Ad Hoc Radio Networks
Abstract. We study the gossiping problem in directed ad-hoc radio networks. Our main result is a deterministic algorithm that solves this problem in an n-node network in time O(n4/...

Zero knowledge with efficient provers
We prove that every problem in NP that has a zero-knowledge proof also has a zero-knowledge proof where the prover can be implemented in probabilistic polynomial time given an NP ...

New Algorithms for Learning in Presence of Errors
We give new algorithms for a variety of randomly-generated instances of computational problems using a linearization technique that reduces to solving a system of linear equations...
