Approximating maximum satisfiable subsystems of linear equations of bounded width
We consider the problem known as MAX-SATISFY: given a system of m linear equations over the rationals, find a maximum set of equations that can be satisfied. Let r be the width of...

PTAS for geometric hitting set problems via local search
We consider the problem of computing minimum geometric hitting sets in which, given a set of geometric objects and a set of points, the goal is to compute the smallest subset of p...

A 5/3-Approximation for Finding Spanning Trees with Many Leaves in Cubic Graphs
For a connected graph G, let L(G) denote the maximum number of leaves in a spanning tree in G. The problem of computing L(G) is known to be NP-hard even for cubic graphs. We improv...

Free Bits, PCPs, and Nonapproximability-Towards Tight Results
This paper continues the investigation of the connection between probabilistically checkable proofs (PCPs) and the approximability of NP-optimization problems. The emphasis is on p...

Stochastic Approximation with Simulated Annealing as an Approach to Global Discrete-Event Simulation Optimization
This paper explores an approach to global, stochastic, simulation optimization which combines stochastic approximation (SA) with simulated annealing (SAN). SA directs a search of ...
