Approximation Algorithms for Allocation and Network Design

In this thesis, we give new approximation algorithms for some NP-hard problems arising in resource allocation and network design. As a resource allocation problem, we study the Santa Claus problem (also known as the MaxMin Fair Allocation problem) in which ...

Results on Sparse Integer Programming and Geometric Independent Sets

Jana Tabea Cslovjecsek

An integer linear program is a problem of the form max{c^T x : Ax=b, x >= 0, x integer}, where A is in Z^(n x m), b in Z^m, and c in Z^n.Solving an integer linear program is NP-hard in general, but there are several assumptions for which it becomes fixed p ...

Multi-robot task allocation for safe planning against stochastic hazard dynamics

Maryam Kamgarpour, Orcun Karaca

We address multi-robot safe mission planning in uncertain dynamic environments. This problem arises in several applications including safety-critical exploration, surveillance, and emergency rescue missions. Computation of a multi-robot optimal control pol ...

Discrete Optimal Transport with Independent Marginals is #P-Hard

Daniel Kuhn, Soroosh Shafieezadeh Abadeh, Bahar Taskesen

We study the computational complexity of the optimal transport problem that evaluates the Wasser- stein distance between the distributions of two K-dimensional discrete random vectors. The best known algorithms for this problem run in polynomial time in th ...

Frequency-Domain Non-intrusive Greedy Model Order Reduction Based on Minimal Rational Approximation

Fabio Nobile, Davide Pradovera

We present a technique for Model Order Reduction (MOR) of frequency-domain problems relying on rational interpolation of vector-valued functions. The selection of the sample points is carried out adaptively according to a greedy procedure. We describe seve ...

Performance guarantees of forward and reverse greedy algorithms for minimizing nonsupermodular nonsubmodular functions on a matroid

Maryam Kamgarpour, Orcun Karaca

This letter studies the problem of minimizing increasing set functions, equivalently, maximizing decreasing set functions, over the base matroid. This setting has received great interest, since it generalizes several applied problems including actuator and ...

Cluster-and-Conquer: When Randomness Meets Graph Locality

Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Olivier Ruas

K-Nearest-Neighbors (KNN) graphs are central to many emblematic data mining and machine-learning applications. Some of the most efficient KNN graph algorithms are incremental and local: they start from a random graph, which they incrementally improve by tr ...
