Scalable Instance Retrieval for the Semantic Web by Approximation
Abstract. Approximation has been identified as a potential way of reducing the complexity of logical reasoning. Here we explore approximation for speeding up instance retrieval in...

Near-linear approximation algorithms for geometric hitting sets
Given a set system (X, R), the hitting set problem is to find a smallest-cardinality subset H ⊆ X, with the property that each range R ∈ R has a non-empty intersection with H...

Randomized Approximation Schemes for Scheduling Unrelated Parallel Machines
We consider the problem of Scheduling n Independent Jobs on m Unrelated Parallel Machines, when the number of machines m is xed. We address the standard problem of minimizing the ...

Approximating corridors and tours via restriction and relaxation techniques
Given a rectangular boundary partitioned into rectangles, the Minimum-Length Corridor (MLC-R) problem consists of finding a corridor of least total length. A corridor is a set of ...
