Is submodularity testable?
C. Seshadhri, Jan Vondrak
We initiate the study of property testing of submodularity on the boolean hypercube. Submodular functions come up in a variety of applications in combinatorial optimization. For a…

Submodular Maximization by Simulated Annealing
Shayan Oveis Gharan, Jan Vondrák
We consider the problem of maximizing a nonnegative (possibly non-monotone) submodular set function with or without constraints. Feige et al. [FOCS'07] showed a 2/5-approximation f…

A note on concentration of submodular functions
Jan Vondrak
We survey a few concentration inequalities for submodular and fractionally subadditive functions of independent random variables, implied by the entropy method for self-bounding fu…
