Efficient Approximation Schemes for Stochastic Probing and Selection-Stopping Problems
In this paper, we propose a general framework to design {efficient} polynomial time approximation schemes (EPTAS) for fundamental stochastic combinatorial optimization problems. Given an error parameter $ε>0$, such algorithmic schemes attain a $(1-ε)$-approximation in $t(ε)\cdot poly(|{\cal I}|)$ time, where $t(\cdot)$ is a function that depends only on $ε$ and $|{\cal I}|$ denotes the input length. Technically speaking, our approach relies on presenting tailor-made redu…
