Scope
APPROX focuses on algorithmic and complexity theoretic issues relevant to the development of efficient approximate solutions to computationally difficult problems. Papers are solicited in all research areas related to approximation, including but not limited to:
- approximation algorithms
- hardness of approximation
- small space, sub-linear time and streaming algorithms
- online algorithms
- approaches that go beyond worst-case analysis
- distributed and parallel approximation
- embeddings and metric space methods
- mathematical programming methods
- spectral methods
- combinatorial optimization
- algorithmic game theory, mechanism design and economics
- computational geometric problems
- approximate learning
