Tight integrality gaps for Lovasz-Schrijver LP relaxations of vertex cover and max cut
We study linear programming relaxations of Vertex Cover and Max Cut arising from repeated applications of the "lift-and-project" method of Lovasz and Schrijver starting ...

On the Crossing Spanning Tree Problem
Given an undirected n-node graph and a set C of m cuts, the minimum crossing tree is a spanning tree which minimizes the maximum crossing of any cut in C, where the crossing of a c...

Primal-Dual RNC Approximation Algorithms for Set Cover and Covering Integer Programs
We build on the classical greedy sequential set cover algorithm, in the spirit of the primal-dual schema, to obtain simple parallel approximation algorithms for the set cover probl...

Robust Combinatorial Optimization with Exponential Scenarios
Following the well-studied two-stage optimization framework for stochastic optimization [15, 18], we study approximation algorithms for robust two-stage optimization problems with ...
