Relaxation in text search using taxonomies
In this paper we propose a novel document retrieval model in which text queries are augmented with multi-dimensional taxonomy restrictions. These restrictions may be relaxed at a ...

Truthful and Near-Optimal Mechanism Design via Linear Programming
We give a general technique to obtain approximation mechanisms that are truthful in expectation. We show that for packing domains, any α-approximation algorithm that also bounds ...

Analyzing Nonblocking Switching Networks using Linear Programming (Duality)
Abstract—The main task in analyzing a switching network design (including circuit-, multirate-, and photonic-switching) is to determine the minimum number of some switching compo...

Optimizing Multi-hop Queries in ZigBee Based Multi-sink Sensor Networks
Wireless sensor networks with multiple users collecting data directly from the sensors have many potential applications. An important problem is to allocate for each user a query r...

On linear and semidefinite programming relaxations for hypergraph matching
The hypergraph matching problem is to find a largest collection of disjoint hyperedges in a hypergraph. This is a well-studied problem in combinatorial optimization and graph theo...
