Abstract--Chow and Liu considered the problem of approximating discrete joint distributions with dependence tree distributions where the goodness of the approximations were measure...

We study approximation algorithms, integrality gaps, and hardness of approximation, of two problems related to cycles of "small" length k in a given graph. The instance f...
Smale's 17th Problem asks "Can a zero of n complex polynomial equations in n unknowns be found approximately, on the average [for a suitable probability measure on the s...
We present algorithms to calculate the stability radius of optimal or approximate solutions of binary programming problems with a min sum or min max objective function. Our algori...
Connected Vertex Cover Problem (CVC) is an NP-hard problem. The currently best known approximation algorithm for CVC has performance ration 2. This paper gives the first Polynomial...
