Tight Bounds on the Approximability of Almost-satisfiable Horn SAT and Exact Hitting Set}
We study the approximability of two natural Boolean constraint satisfaction problems: Horn satisfiability and exact hitting set. Under the Unique Games conjecture, we prove the fo...

Fast fully polynomial approximation schemes for minimizing completion time variance
Abstract. We present fully polynomial approximation schemes for the problem of minimizing completion time variance of a set of n jobs on a single machine. The fastest of these sche...

The reproducing placement problem with applications
We study a new placement problem: the reproducing placement problem (RPP). In each phase a module (or gate) is decomposed into two (or more) simpler modules. The goal is nd a \go...

An Implicit Cover Problem in Wild Population Study
In an implicit combinatorial optimization problem, the constraints are not enumerated explicitly but rather stated implicitly through equations, other constraints or auxiliary alg...

Approximation Schemes for Scheduling on Uniformly Related and Identical Parallel Machines
We give a polynomial approximation scheme for the problem of scheduling on uniformly related parallel machines for a large class of objective functions that depend only on the mac...
