Grouping Techniques for Scheduling Problems: Simpler and Faster
In this paper we describe a general grouping technique to devise faster and simpler approximation schemes for several scheduling problems. We illustrate the technique on two diff...

Sketching and Streaming Entropy via Approximation Theory
We give near-optimal sketching and streaming algorithms for estimating Shannon entropy in the most general streaming model, with arbitrary insertions and deletions. This improves ...

Small Approximate Pareto Sets for Bi-objective Shortest Paths and Other Problems
We investigate the problem of computing a minimum set of solutions that approximates within a specified accuracy the Pareto curve of a multiobjective optimization problem. We show...

Approximate bivariate factorization: a geometric viewpoint
We briefly present and analyze, from a geometric viewpoint, strategies for designing algorithms to factor bivariate approximate polynomials in   [x, y]. Given a composite polyno...
