A study of genetic algorithms for approximating the longest path in generic graphs
Abstract--Finding the longest simple path in a generic undirected graph is a challenging issue that belongs to the NPComplete class of problems. Four approaches based on genetic al...

Cycle Cover with Short Cycles
Cycle covering is a well-studied problem in computer science. In this paper, we develop approximation algorithms for variants of cycle covering problems which bound the size and/o...

Analyzing feature generation for value-function approximation
We analyze a simple, Bellman-error-based approach to generating basis functions for valuefunction approximation. We show that it generates orthogonal basis functions that provably...

Approximate Functional Dependencies for XML Data
Functional dependencies (FDs) are an integral part of database theory since they are used in integrity enforcement and in database design. Recently, functional dependencies satisï¬...

Tight Bounds on the Approximability of Almost-satisfiable Horn SAT and Exact Hitting Set}
We study the approximability of two natural Boolean constraint satisfaction problems: Horn satisfiability and exact hitting set. Under the Unique Games conjecture, we prove the fo...
