Polynomial time approximation schemes for dense instances of NP-hard problems
We present a unified framework for designing polynomial time approximation schemes (PTASs) for “dense” instances of many NP-hard optimization problems, including maximum cut,...

Approximating Optimal Binary Decision Trees
Abstract. We give a (ln n + 1)-approximation for the decision tree (DT) problem. An instance of DT is a set of m binary tests T = (T1, . . . , Tm) and a set of n items X = (X1, . ....

Approximating TSP on metrics with bounded global growth
The Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is a canonical NP-complete problem which is known to be MAXSNP hard even on Euclidean metrics (of high dimensions) [40]. In order to circumven...

Combining Approximate Front End Signal Processing with Selective Reprocessing in Auditory Perception
When dealing with signals from complex environments, where multiple time-dependent signal signatures can interfere with each other in stochastically unpredictable ways, traditiona...

Approximate Shortest Paths in Anisotropic Regions
Our goal is to find an approximate shortest path for a point robot moving in a planar subdivision with n vertices. Let 1 be a real number. Distances in each face of this subdivis...
