Submodular Maximization by Simulated Annealing
We consider the problem of maximizing a nonnegative (possibly non-monotone) submodular set function with or without constraints. Feige et al. [9] showed a 2/5-approximation for th...

A Randomized Quasi-Monte Carlo Simulation Method for Markov Chains
We introduce and study a randomized quasi-Monte Carlo method for estimating the state distribution at each step of a Markov chain. The number of steps in the chain can be random an...

A polynomial solution to the k-fixed-endpoint path cover problem on proper interval graphs
: We study a variant of the path cover problem, namely, the k-fixed-endpoint path cover problem, or kPC for short. Given a graph G and a subset T of k vertices of V (G), a k-fixe...
