Black-Box Randomized Reductions in Algorithmic Mechanism Design
We give the first black-box reduction from arbitrary approximation algorithms to truthful approximation mechanisms for a non-trivial class of multiparameter problems. Specifically,...

Sampling-based dimension reduction for subspace approximation
We give a randomized bi-criteria algorithm for the problem of finding a k-dimensional subspace that minimizes the Lp-error for given points, i.e., p-th root of the sum of p-th

Noise Strategies for Improving Local Search
It has recently been shown that local search is surprisingly good at nding satisfying assignments for certain computationally hard classes of CNF formulas. The performance of basi...

Ramsey games with giants
: The classical result in the theory of random graphs, proved by Erd˝os and Rényi in 1960, concerns the threshold for the appearance of the giant component in the random graph pr...
