Approximating Single Machine Scheduling with Scenarios
In the field of robust optimization, the goal is to provide solutions to combinatorial problems that hedge against variations of the numerical parameters. This constitutes an effor...

Submodular meets Spectral: Greedy Algorithms for Subset Selection, Sparse Approximation and Dictionary Selection
We study the problem of selecting a subset of k random variables from a large set, in order to obtain the best linear prediction of another variable of interest. This problem can ...

Approximating the distribution of fitness over hamming regions
The distribution of fitness values across a set of states sharply influences the dynamics of evolutionary processes and heuristic search in combinatorial optimization. In this p...

An Approximation Scheme for Terrain Guarding
We obtain a polynomial time approximation scheme for the terrain guarding problem improving upon several recent constant factor approximations. Our algorithm is a local search algo...

A Polynomial-Time Approximation Scheme for Euclidean Steiner Forest
We give a randomized O(n polylog n)-time approximation scheme for the Steiner forest problem in the Euclidean plane. For every fixed ǫ > 0 and given n terminals in the plane ...
