Near-optimal algorithms for unique games
Unique games are constraint satisfaction problems that can be viewed as a generalization of Max-Cut to a larger domain size. The Unique Games Conjecture states that it is hard to ...

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...

Edge-disjoint paths in Planar graphs with constant congestion
We study the maximum edge-disjoint paths problem in undirected planar graphs: given a graph G and node pairs s1t1, s2t2, . . ., sktk, the goal is to maximize the number of pairs t...

Resource Minimization for Fire Containment
We consider the following model for fire containment. We are given an undirected graph G = (V, E) with a source vertex s where the fire starts. At each time step, the firefighters...

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 ...
