Approximations can aim at having close to optimal value or, alternatively, they can aim at structurally resembling an optimal solution. Whereas value-approximation has been extensi...
—In the design process of complex systems, the designer is solving an optimization problem, which involves different disciplines and where all design criteria have to be optimize...

We present a local algorithm (constant-time distributed algorithm) for finding a 3-approximate vertex cover in bounded-degree graphs. The algorithm is deterministic, and no auxili...
Estimating the selectivity of multidimensional range queries over real valued attributes has significant applications in data exploration and database query optimization. In this p...
