Randomized Approximation Schemes for Cuts and Flows in Capacitated Graphs
We improve on random sampling techniques for approximately solving problems that involve cuts and flows in graphs. We give a near-linear-time construction that transforms any grap...

Numerical Approximations for Stochastic Differential Games
The Markov chain approximation method is a widely used, relatively easy to use, and efficient family of methods for the bulk of stochastic control problems in continuous time, for...

Approximate Nearest Subspace Search
—Subspaces offer convenient means of representing information in many pattern recognition, machine vision, and statistical learning applications. Contrary to the growing populari...

Amplified Hardness of Approximation for VCG-Based Mechanisms
If a two-player social welfare maximization problem does not admit a PTAS, we prove that any maximal-in-range truthful mechanism that runs in polynomial time cannot achieve an app...

On the Uniform Learnability of Approximations to Non-Recursive Functions
Abstract. Blum and Blum (1975) showed that a class B of suitable recursive approximations to the halting problem is reliably EX-learnable. These investigations are carried on by sh...
