Approximate distributed top- k queries
We consider a distributed system where each node keeps a local count for items (similar to elections where nodes are ballot boxes and items are candidates). A top-k query in such ...

On bounded occurrence constraint satisfaction
An approximation algorithm for a constraint satisfaction problem is said to be nontrivial if its performance ratio is strictly superior to the expected performance of the algorith...

Primal-dual meets local search: approximating MST's with nonuniform degree bounds
We present a new bicriteria approximation algorithm for the degree-bounded minimum-cost spanning tree problem: Given an undirected graph with nonnegative edge weights and degree b...

Approximate counting by dynamic programming
We give efficient algorithms to sample uniformly, and count approximately, the solutions to a zero-one knapsack problem. The algorithm is based on using dynamic programming to pro...
