Consider the edge-connectivity survivable network design problem: given a graph G = (V, E) with edge-costs, and edgeconnectivity requirements rij Z0 for every pair of vertices i,...
Processes that simulate natural phenomena have successfully been applied to a number of problems for which no simple mathematical solution is known or is practicable. Such meta-heu...

Abstract. A black box method was recently given that solves the problem of online approximate matching for a class of problems whose distance functions can be classified as being ...
Abstract. We study the space complexity of randomized streaming algorithms that provide one-sided approximation guarantees; e.g., the algorithm always returns an overestimate of th...
A new technique for design centering, and for polytope approximation of the feasible region for a design are presented. In the rst phase, the feasible region is approximated by a ...
