Improved bounds on sorting by length-weighted reversals
We study the problem of sorting binary sequences and permutations by length-weighted reversals. We consider a wide class of cost functions, namely f( ) = for all 0, where is the...

Approximating min-max k-clustering
We consider the problems of set partitioning into k clusters with minimum total cost and minimum of the maximum cost of a cluster. The cost function is given by an oracle, and we ...

Approximate Solution Sampling (and Counting) on AND/OR Spaces
In this paper, we describe a new algorithm for sampling solutions from a uniform distribution over the solutions of a constraint network. Our new algorithm improves upon the Sampli...

Deterministic Approximation Algorithms for the Nearest Codeword Problem
The Nearest Codeword Problem (NCP) is a basic algorithmic question in the theory of error-correcting codes. Given a point v ∈ Fn 2 and a linear space L ⊆ Fn 2 of dimension k NC...

Approximation Algorithms and Mechanism Design for Minimax Approval Voting
We consider approval voting elections in which each voter votes for a (possibly empty) set of candidates and the outcome consists of a set of k candidates for some parameter k, e....
