Mehr als ein Jahrzehnt nach dem Beginn des Krieges ist die Lage in Syrien weiterhin von Gewalt, Unsicherheit und schweren Menschenrechtsverletzungen geprägt, religiöse und ethnische Minderheiten wie Alawiten, Drusen, Christen, Eziden und Kurden sind unzureichend geschützt.
Im Fokus der Veranstaltung stehen Fragen nach dem Schutz besonders vulnerabler Gruppen, nach den Folgen der Machtübernahme durch die HTS sowie nach Möglichkeiten von…

California voters are receiving mailers promoting a 'poison-pill' ballot measure aimed at nullifying a proposed one-time 5% tax on billionaires' assets. The countermeasure, backed by Silicon Valley billionaires including Sergey Brin and Eric Schmidt, would override the tax even if both pass in November. The clash reflects a broader surge in billionaire political spending, which reached $3 billion nationally in 2024 and is reshaping policy battles at state and federal levels

But the push to win back the elusive and swingy coalition that proved pivotal to Donald Trump’s 2024 victory goes way beyond the closely watched Lone Star State.

A $5$-Approximation Analysis for the Cover Small Cuts Problem
Miles Simmons, Ishan Bansal, Joe Cheriyan
https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.01462 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.01462 https://arxiv.org/html/2602.01462
arXiv:2602.01462v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: In the Cover Small Cuts problem, we are given a capacitated (undirected) graph $G=(V,E,u)$ and a threshold value $\lambda$, as well as a set of links $L$ with end-nodes in $V$ and a non-negative cost for each link $\ell\in L$; the goal is to find a minimum-cost set of links such that each non-trivial cut of capacity less than $\lambda$ is covered by a link. Bansal, Cheriyan, Grout, and Ibrahimpur (arXiv:2209.11209, Algorithmica 2024) showed that the WGMV primal-dual algorithm, due to Williamson, Goemans, Mihail, and Vazirani (Combinatorica, 1995), achieves approximation ratio $16$ for the Cover Small Cuts problem; their analysis uses the notion of a pliable family of sets that satisfies a combinatorial property. Later, Bansal (arXiv:2308.15714v2, IPCO 2025) and then Nutov (arXiv:2504.03910, MFCS 2025) proved that the same algorithm achieves approximation ratio $6$. We show that the same algorithm achieves approximation ratio $5$, by using a stronger notion, namely, a pliable family of sets that satisfies symmetry and structural submodularity.

“Iran tried to interfere in 2020, 2024 elections to stop Trump,” his Truth Social post said, “and now faces renewed war with United States”.
