Covering Games: Approximation through Non-cooperation
We propose approximation algorithms under game-theoretic considerations. We indroduce and study the general covering problem which is a natural generalization of the well-studied m...

On the Optimality of Planar and Geometric Approximation Schemes
We show for several planar and geometric problems that the best known approximation schemes are essentially optimal with respect to the dependence on ǫ. For example, we show that...

Approximation Algorithms for the Graph Orientation Minimizing the Maximum Weighted Outdegree
Given an undirected graph G = (V, E) and a weight function w : E → Z+ , we consider the problem of orienting all edges in E so that the maximum weighted outdegree among all verti...

Approximate Integer Common Divisors
We show that recent results of Coppersmith, Boneh, Durfee and Howgrave-Graham actually apply in the more general setting of (partially) approximate common divisors. This leads us t...

A stochastic approximation method with max-norm projections and its applications to the Q-learning algorithm
In this paper, we develop a stochastic approximation method to solve a monotone estimation problem and use this method to enhance the empirical performance of the Q-learning algor...
