—Raz’s parallel repetition theorem [21] together with improvements of Holenstein [12] shows that for any two-prover one-round game with value at most 1 − (for ≤ 1/2), the v...
Abstract: Probabilistically constrained problems, in which the random variables are finitely distributed, are nonconvex in general and hard to solve. The p-efficiency concept has b...
In recent years, many networks have become available for analysis, including social networks, sensor networks, biological networks, etc. Graph clustering has shown its effectivenes...
We consider the problem of the exact simulation of random variables Z that satisfy the distributional identity Z L = V Y + (1 − V )Z, where V ∈ [0, 1] and Y are independent, an...
Abstract. We present approximation algorithms for almost all variants of the multicriteria traveling salesman problem (TSP), whose performances are independent of the number k of c...
