We introduce a new approach to computing an approximately maximum s-t flow in a capacitated, undirected graph. This flow is computed by solving a sequence of electrical flow probl...

Approximate policy iteration methods based on temporal differences are popular in practice, and have been tested extensively, dating to the early nineties, but the associated conve...
We show that the minimum distance of a linear code is not approximable to within any constant factor in random polynomial time (RP), unless nondeterministic polynomial time (NP) eq...
The mode of a multiset of labels, is a label that occurs at least as often as any other label. The input to the range mode problem is an array A of size n. A range query [i, j] mus...
Approximate query answering systems provide very fast alternatives to OLAP systems when applications are tolerant to small errors in query answers. Current sampling-based approach...
