Approximating Solution Structure
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...

Fast approximation of the permanent for very dense problems
Approximation of the permanent of a matrix with nonnegative entries is a well studied problem. The most successful approach to date for general matrices uses Markov chains to appr...

Approximation schemes for minimum 2-edge-connected and biconnected subgraphs in planar graphs
Given an undirected graph, finding either a minimum 2-edge-connected spanning subgraph or a minimum 2vertex-connected (biconnected) spanning subgraph is MaxSNP-hard. We show that ...

Approximation Bounds for a General Class of Precedence Constrained Parallel Machine Scheduling Problems
Abstract. A well studied and difficult class of scheduling problems concerns parallel machines and precedence constraints. In order to model more realistic situations, we consider ...
