We present a new approximation algorithm for the minimum 2-edge-connected spanning subgraph problem. Its approximation ratio is $\frac{4}{3}$, which matches the current best ratio. The approximation ratio of the algorithm is $\frac{6}{5}$…
This paper investigates two related optimal input selection problems for fixed (non-switched) and switched structured systems. More precisely, we consider selecting the minimum cost of inputs from a prior set of inputs, and selecting the…
Applying the max-product (and belief-propagation) algorithms to loopy graphs is now quite popular for best assignment problems. This is largely due to their low computational complexity and impressive performance in practice. Still, there…
The present paper is devoted to studying of minimal parametric fillings of finite metric spaces (a version of optimal connection problem) by methods of Linear Programming. The estimate on the multiplicity of multi-tours appearing in the…
Graph Balancing is the problem of orienting the edges of a weighted multigraph so as to minimize the maximum weighted in-degree. Since the introduction of the problem the best algorithm known achieves an approximation ratio of $1.75$ and it…
The 2-Edge-Connected Spanning Subgraph Problem (2ECSS) is a fundamental problem in survivable network design. Given an undirected $2$-edge-connected graph, the goal is to find a $2$-edge-connected spanning subgraph with the minimum number…
The capacitated tree cover problem with edge loads is a variant of the tree cover problem, where we are given facility opening costs, edge costs and loads, as well as vertex loads. We try to find a tree cover of minimum cost such that the…
With the recent emergence of mixed precision hardware, there has been a renewed interest in its use for solving numerical linear algebra problems fast and accurately. The solution of least squares (LS) problems $\min_x\|b-Ax\|_2$, where $A…
We propose a new method for low-rank approximation of Moore-Penrose pseudoinverses (MPPs) of large-scale matrices using tensor networks. The computed pseudoinverses can be useful for solving or preconditioning of large-scale overdetermined…
The minimum linear ordering problem (MLOP) generalizes well-known combinatorial optimization problems such as minimum linear arrangement and minimum sum set cover. MLOP seeks to minimize an aggregated cost $f(\cdot)$ due to an ordering…
By prior work, it is known that any distributed graph algorithm that finds a maximal matching requires $\Omega(\log^* n)$ communication rounds, while it is possible to find a maximal fractional matching in $O(1)$ rounds in bounded-degree…
Identifying the connected components of a graph, apart from being a fundamental problem with countless applications, is a key primitive for many other algorithms. In this paper, we consider this problem in parallel settings. Particularly,…
Precoding design for maximizing weighted sum-rate (WSR) is a fundamental problem for downlink of massive multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) systems. It is well-known that this problem is generally NP-hard due to the…
We give a 1.488-approximation for the classic scheduling problem of minimizing total weighted completion time on unrelated machines. This is a considerable improvement on the recent breakthrough of $(1.5 - 10^{-7})$-approximation (STOC…
Positive linear programs (LPs) model many graph and operations research problems. One can solve for a $(1+\epsilon)$-approximation for positive LPs, for any selected $\epsilon$, in polylogarithmic depth and near-linear work via variations…
As a variant of the routing and wavelength assignment problem (RWAP), the RWAP with partial path protection (RWAP-PPP) designs a reliable optical-fiber network for telecommunications. It assigns paths and wavelengths to meet communication…
Many problems of interest for cyber-physical network systems can be formulated as Mixed Integer Linear Programs in which the constraints are distributed among the agents. In this paper we propose a distributed algorithm to solve this class…
We provide CONGEST model algorithms for approximating minimum weighted vertex cover and the maximum weighted matching. For bipartite graphs, we show that a $(1+\varepsilon)$-approximate weighted vertex cover can be computed…
Given a graph $G$, a cost function on the non-edges of $G$, and an integer $d$, the problem of finding a cheapest globally rigid supergraph of $G$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is NP-hard for $d\geq 1$. For this problem, which is a common…
The important problem of weighted sum rate maximization (WSRM) in a multicellular environment is intrinsically sensitive to channel estimation errors. In this paper, we study ways to maximize the weighted sum rate in a linearly precoded…
