Preface

This volume contains the papers presented at the 21st International Workshop on Approxim-
ation Algorithms for Combinatorial Optimization Problems (APPROX 2018) and the 22nd
International Workshop on Randomization and Computation (RANDOM 2018), which took
place concurrently at the at University of Princeton in Princeton, USA during August 20–22,
2018.

    APPROX focuses on algorithmic and complexity issues surrounding the development
of efficient approximate solutions to computationally difficult problems, and was the 21st
in the series after Aalborg (1998), Berkeley (1999), Saarbrücken (2000), Berkeley (2001),
Rome (2002), Princeton (2003), Cambridge (2004), Berkeley (2005), Barcelona (2006),
Princeton (2007), Boston (2008), Berkeley (2009), Barcelona (2010), Princeton (2011),
Boston (2012), Berkeley (2013), Barcelona (2014), Princeton (2015), Paris (2016), and
Berkeley (2017). RANDOM is concerned with applications of randomness to computational
and combinatorial problems, and was the 22nd workshop in the series following Bologna
(1997), Barcelona (1998), Berkeley (1999), Geneva (2000), Berkeley (2001), Harvard (2002),
Princeton (2003), Cambridge (2004), Berkeley (2005), Barcelona (2006), Princeton (2007),
Boston (2008), Berkeley (2009), Barcelona (2010), Princeton (2011), Boston (2012), Berkeley
(2013), Barcelona (2014), Princeton (2015), Paris (2016), and Berkeley (2017).

    Topics of interest for APPROX and RANDOM are: 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, em-
beddings and metric space methods, mathematical programming methods, spectral methods,
combinatorial optimization in graphs and networks, algorithmic game theory, mechanism
design and economics, computational geometric problems, approximate learning, design and
analysis of randomized algorithms, randomized complexity theory, pseudorandomness and
derandomization, random combinatorial structures, random walks/Markov chains, expander
graphs and randomness extractors, probabilistic proof systems, random projections and em-
beddings, error-correcting codes, average-case analysis, smoothed analysis, property testing,
computational learning theory, and other applications of approximation and randomness.

   The volume contains 28 contributed papers, selected by the APPROX Program Committee
out of 50 submissions, and 30 contributed papers, selected by the RANDOM Program
Committee out of 73 submissions.

the members of the Program Committees, and the external reviewers. We gratefully acknow-
