Lifetime Maximization of Monitoring Sensor Networks
We study the problem of maximizing the lifetime of a sensor network assigned to monitor a given area. Our main result is a linear time dual approximation algorithm that comes arbit...

The importance of being biased
The Minimum Vertex Cover problem is the problem of, given a graph, finding a smallest set of vertices that touches all edges. We show that it is NP-hard to approximate this proble...

Functionally Private Approximations of Negligibly-Biased Estimators
ABSTRACT. We study functionally private approximations. An approximation function g is functionally private with respect to f if, for any input x, g(x) reveals no more information ...

Model reduction for a class of input-quantized systems in the max-plus algebra
Abstract— We present a systematic method for model reduction of a class of input-quantized systems in the max-plus algebra. We consider a generalization of the flow shop with ï¬...

Inapproximability Results for Maximum Edge Biclique, Minimum Linear Arrangement, and Sparsest Cut
We consider the Minimum Linear Arrangement problem and the (Uniform) Sparsest Cut problem. So far, these two notorious NP-hard graph problems have resisted all attempts to prove in...
