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 ...

Streaming and Matching Problems with Submodular Functions

Paritosh Garg

Submodular functions are a widely studied topic in theoretical computer science. They have found several applications both theoretical and practical in the fields of economics, combinatorial optimization and machine learning. More recently, there have also ...

Online Contention Resolution Schemes With Applications To Bayesian Selection Problems

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Moran Feldman, Rico Zenklusen

We introduce a new rounding technique designed for online optimization problems, which is related to contention resolution schemes, a technique initially introduced in the context of submodular function maximization. Our rounding technique, which we call o ...

A comment on performance guarantees of a greedy algorithm for minimizing a supermodular set function on comatroid

Maryam Kamgarpour, Baiwei Guo, Orcun Karaca

We provide a counterexample to the performance guarantee obtained in the paper "Il'ev, V., Linker, N., 2006. Performance guarantees of a greedy algorithm for minimizing a supermodular set function on comatroid", which was published in Volume 171 of the Eur ...

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 ...

The One-Way Communication Complexity of Submodular Maximization with Applications to Streaming and Robustness

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Moran Feldman, Rico Zenklusen, Ashkan Norouzi Fard

We consider the classical problem of maximizing a monotone submodular function subject to a cardinality constraint, which, due to its numerous applications, has recently been studied in various computational models. We consider a clean multi-player model t ...

Actuator Placement under Structural Controllability using Forward and Reverse Greedy Algorithms

Maryam Kamgarpour, Tyler Summers, Baiwei Guo, Orcun Karaca

Actuator placement is an active field of research which has received significant attention for its applications in complex dynamical networks. In this paper, we study the problem of finding a set of actuator placements minimizing the metric that measures t ...

Performance guarantees for greedy maximization of non-submodular controllability metrics

Maryam Kamgarpour, Tyler Summers

A key problem in emerging complex cyber-physical networks is the design of information and control topologies, including sensor and actuator selection and communication network design. These problems can be posed as combinatorial set function optimization ...

Robust Adaptive Decision Making: Bayesian Optimization and Beyond

Ilija Bogunovic

The central task in many interactive machine learning systems can be formalized as the sequential optimization of a black-box function. Bayesian optimization (BO) is a powerful model-based framework for \emph{adaptive} experimentation, where the primary go ...

An Improved Analysis of Local Search for Max-Sum Diversification

Friedrich Eisenbrand, Rico Zenklusen, Alfonso Bolívar Cevallos Manzano

We present new techniques to analyze natural local search algorithms for several variants of the max-sum diversification problem which, in its most basic form, is as follows: given an n-point set X subset of R-d and an integer k, select k points in X so th ...
