A Randomized Algorithm for Flow Shop Scheduling
Abstract. Shop scheduling problems are known to be notoriously intractable, both in theory and practice. In this paper we give a randomized approximation algorithm for flow shop s...

On the Hardness and Smoothed Complexity of Quasi-Concave Minimization
In this paper, we resolve the smoothed and approximative complexity of low-rank quasi-concave minimization, providing both upper and lower bounds. As an upper bound, we provide th...

A Theory of Singly-Linked Lists and its Extensible Decision Procedure
The key to many approaches to reason about pointerbased data structures is the availability of a decision procedure to automatically discharge proof obligations in a theory encomp...

Correlation Robust Stochastic Optimization
We consider a robust model proposed by Scarf, 1958, for stochastic optimization when only the marginal probabilities of (binary) random variables are given, and the correlation be...
