The Complexity of Rationalizing Matchings
Given a set of observed economic choices, can one infer preferences and/or utility functions for the players that are consistent with the data? Questions of this type are called r...

Clustering with or without the Approximation
We study algorithms for clustering data that were recently proposed by Balcan, Blum and Gupta in SODA’09 [4] and that have already given rise to two follow-up papers. The input f...

The Computational Complexity of Densest Region Detection
We investigate the computational complexity of the task of detecting dense regions of an unknown distribution from un-labeled samples of this distribution. We introduce a formal l...

Separation and Approximation of Polyhedral Objects
Given a family of disjoint polygons P1, P2, : : :, Pk in the plane, and an integer parameter m, it is NP-complete to decide if the Pi's can be pairwise separated by a polygon...

Degree Bounded Network Design with Metric Costs
Given a complete undirected graph, a cost function on edges and a degree bound B, the degree bounded network design problem is to find a minimum cost simple subgraph with maximum...
