Approximating Minimum Max-Stretch spanning Trees on unweighted graphs
Given a graph G and a spanning tree T of G, we say that T is a tree t-spanner of G if the distance between every pair of vertices in T is at most t times their distance in G. The p...

Submodular Approximation: Sampling-based Algorithms and Lower Bounds
We introduce several generalizations of classical computer science problems obtained by replacing simpler objective functions with general submodular functions. The new problems i...
