Improved Bounds for Flow Shop Scheduling
We resolve an open question raised by Feige & Scheideler by showing that the best known approximation algorithm for flow shops is essentially tight with respect to the used low...

Optimization via communication networks
— It has been known since the early 1990s that backpressure-type algorithms for communication networks (such as the Max-Weight algorithm) can be used to approximately solve stati...

Degree Bounded Network Design with Metric Costs
Given a complete undirected graph, a cost function on edges and a degree bound B, the degree bounded network design problem is to find a minimum cost simple subgraph with maximum...

Design of a crawler with bounded bandwidth
This paper presents an algorithm to bound the bandwidth of a Web crawler. The crawler collects statistics on the transfer rate of each server to predict the expected bandwidth use...

New Outer Bounds on the Marginal Polytope
We give a new class of outer bounds on the marginal polytope, and propose a cutting-plane algorithm for efficiently optimizing over these constraints. When combined with a concav...
