Polynomial-Time Approximation Schemes for Subset-Connectivity Problems in Bounded-Genus Graphs
We present the first polynomial-time approximation schemes (PTASes) for the following subset-connectivity problems in edge-weighted graphs of bounded genus: Steiner tree, low-conn...

Fast approximation of the permanent for very dense problems
Approximation of the permanent of a matrix with nonnegative entries is a well studied problem. The most successful approach to date for general matrices uses Markov chains to appr...

On the Approximability of Maximum and Minimum Edge Clique Partition Problems
We consider the following clustering problems: given a general undirected graph, partition its vertices into disjoint clusters such that each cluster forms a clique and the number...

Retrospective Approximation Algorithms for the Multidimensional Stochastic Root-Finding Problem
The stochastic root-finding problem (SRFP) is that of solving a system of q equations in q unknowns using only an oracle that provides estimates of the function values. This paper...

Tight Approximation Ratio of a General Greedy Splitting Algorithm for the Minimum k-Way Cut Problem
For an edge-weighted connected undirected graph, the minimum k-way cut problem is to find a subset of edges of minimum total weight whose removal separates the graph into k connect...
