How to rank with few errors
We present a polynomial time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the minimum feedback arc set problem on tournaments. A simple weighted generalization gives a PTAS for KemenyYoung ran...

Evaluation of the distance spectrum of variable-length finite-state codes
The class of variable-length finite-state joint source-channel codes is defined and a polynomial complexity algorithm for the evaluation of their distance spectrum presented. Issu...

On the Positive-Negative Partial Set Cover problem
The Positive-Negative Partial Set Cover problem is introduced and its complexity, especially the hardness-of-approximation, is studied. The problem generalizes the Set Cover probl...

A comparison of approximation techniques for variance-based sensitivity analysis of biochemical reaction systems
Background: Sensitivity analysis is an indispensable tool for the analysis of complex systems. In a recent paper, we have introduced a thermodynamically consistent variance-based ...

The maximum hypervolume set yields near-optimal approximation
In order to allow a comparison of (otherwise incomparable) sets, many evolutionary multiobjective optimizers use indicator functions to guide the search and to evaluate the perfor...
