On the Positive-Negative Partial Set Cover problem
The Positive-Negative Partial Set Cover problem is introduced and its complexity, especially the hardness-of-approximation, is studied. The problem generalizes the Set Cover probl...

On Quadratic Threshold CSPs
A predicate P : {−1, 1}k → {0, 1} can be associated with a constraint satisfaction problem Max CSP(P). P is called “approximation resistant” if Max CSP(P) cannot be approxi...

Finding Sparser Directed Spanners
A spanner of a graph is a sparse subgraph that approximately preserves distances in the original graph. More precisely, a subgraph H = (V, EH ) is a k-spanner of a graph G = (V, E...

Buy-at-Bulk Network Design with Protection
We consider approximation algorithms for buy-at-bulk network design, with the additional constraint that demand pairs be protected against edge or node failures in the network. In...

Beyond Trees: MRF Inference via Outer-Planar Decomposition
Maximum a posteriori (MAP) inference in Markov Random Fields (MRFs) is an NP-hard problem, and thus research has focussed on either finding efficiently solvable subclasses (e.g. t...
