Constrained Binary Identification Problem

Amin Karbasi, Morteza Zadimoghaddam

We consider the problem of building a binary decision tree, to locate an object within a set by way of the least number of membership queries. This problem is equivalent to the “20 questions game” of information theory and is closely related to lossless so ...

Santa Claus Schedules Jobs On Unrelated Machines

Ola Nils Anders Svensson

One of the classic results in scheduling theory is the 2-approximation algorithm by Lenstra, Shmoys, and Tardos for the problem of scheduling jobs to minimize makespan on unrelated machines; i.e., job j requires time p(ij) if processed on machine i. More t ...

Hardness of Vertex Deletion and Project Scheduling

Ola Nils Anders Svensson

Assuming the Unique Games Conjecture, we show strong inapproximability results for two natural vertex deletion problems on directed graphs: for any integer k ≥ 2 and arbitrary small ε > 0, the Feedback Vertex Set problem and the DAG Vertex Deletion problem ...

Hardness Of Precedence Constrained Scheduling On Identical Machines

Ola Nils Anders Svensson

In 1966, Graham showed that a simple procedure called list scheduling yields a 2-approximation algorithm for the central problem of scheduling precedence constrained jobs on identical machines to minimize makespan. To date this has remained the best algori ...

Adaptive Content Search Through Comparisons

Amin Karbasi

We study the problem of navigating through a database of similar objects using comparisons. This problem is known to be strongly related to the small-world network design problem. However, contrary to prior work, which focuses on cases where objects in the ...

Complexity of the critical node problem over trees

Marco Di Summa

In this paper we deal with the critical node problem (CNP), i.e., the problem of searching for a given number K of nodes in a graph G, whose removal minimizes the (weighted or unweighted) number of connections between pairs of nodes in the residual graph. ...

Primal-dual Approximation Algorithms for Node-Weighted Steiner Forest on Planar Graphs

Carsten Moldenhauer

NODE-WEIGHTED STEINER FOREST is the following problem: Given an undirected graph, a set of pairs of terminal vertices, a weight function on the vertices, find a minimum weight set of vertices that includes and connects each pair of terminals. We consider t ...

Content Search Through Comparisons

Amin Karbasi

We study the problem of navigating through a database of similar objects using comparisons under heterogeneous demand, a prob- lem strongly related to small-world network design. We show that, under heterogeneous demand, the small-world network design prob ...
