Approximation algorithms for the NFV service distribution problem [PDF]
Distributed cloud networking builds on network functions virtualization (NFV) and software defined networking (SDN) to enable the deployment of network services in the form of elastic virtual network functions (VNFs) instantiated over general purpose ...

Approximation Algorithms for Hitting Subgraphs [PDF]
Let $H$ be a fixed undirected graph on $k$ vertices. The $H$-hitting set problem asks for deleting a minimum number of vertices from a given graph $G$ in such a way that the resulting graph has no copies of $H$ as a subgraph. This problem is a special case of the hypergraph vertex cover problem on $k$-uniform hypergraphs, and thus admits an efficient ...

Approximation Algorithms for Maximin Fair Division [PDF]
We consider the problem of dividing indivisible goods fairly among n agents who have additive and submodular valuations for the goods. Our fairness guarantees are in terms of the maximin share, that is defined to be the maximum value that an agent can ...

Deterministic polynomial-time approximation algorithms for partition functions and graph polynomials [PDF]
We show a new way of constructing deterministic polynomial-time approximation algorithms for computing complex-valued evaluations of a large class of graph polynomials on bounded degree graphs.

Approximation Algorithms for Computing Maximin Share Allocations [PDF]
We study the problem of computing maximin share allocations, a recently introduced fairness notion. Given a set of n agents and a set of goods, the maximin share of an agent is the best she can guarantee to herself, if she is allowed to partition the ...

Greedy Algorithms for Optimal Distribution Approximation
The approximation of a discrete probability distribution t by an M-type distribution p is considered. The approximation error is measured by the informational divergence D ( t ∥ p ) , which is an appropriate measure, e.g., in the ...

Influence Circle Covering in Large-Scale Social Networks: A Shift Approach
Given a specific propagation speed $h$ in a social network $G(V, E)$ , an influence circle(IC) of a node $s$ in time $t$ is a node set of its influenced nodes, where the distance between $s$ and its expected influenced node $w$ is less than ...

Improved Approximation Algorithms for k-Submodular Function Maximization [PDF]
This paper presents a polynomial-time 1/2-approximation algorithm for maximizing nonnegative k-submodular functions. This improves upon the previous max{1/3, 1/(1 + a)}-approximation by Ward and Živný [18], where a = max{1, [EQUATION]}. We also show that
