We show for several planar and geometric problems that the best known approximation schemes are essentially optimal with respect to the dependence on ǫ. For example, we show that...
Given an undirected graph G = (V, E) and a weight function w : E → Z+ , we consider the problem of orienting all edges in E so that the maximum weighted outdegree among all verti...
We show that recent results of Coppersmith, Boneh, Durfee and Howgrave-Graham actually apply in the more general setting of (partially) approximate common divisors. This leads us t...
In this paper, we develop a stochastic approximation method to solve a monotone estimation problem and use this method to enhance the empirical performance of the Q-learning algor...
In this paper, we consider the classical problem of link scheduling in wireless networks under an accurate interference model, in which correct packet reception at a receiver node ...
