Dispersion in Unit Disks
We present two new approximation algorithms with (improved) constant ratios for selecting n points in n unit disks such that the minimum pairwise distance among the points is maxi...

The Positive Semidefinite Grothendieck Problem with Rank Constraint
Given a positive integer n and a positive semidefinite matrix A = (Aij ) ∈ Rm×m the positive semidefinite Grothendieck problem with rank-nconstraint is (SDPn) maximize mX i=1 ...

Near optimal multiple alignment within a band in polynomial time
Multiple sequence alignment is a fundamental problem in computational biology. Because of its notorious difficulties, aligning sequences within a constant band (c-diagonal) is a ...

Dispersion of Mass and the Complexity of Randomized Geometric Algorithms
How much can randomness help computation? Motivated by this general question and by volume computation, one of the few instances where randomness provably helps, we analyze a noti...

On strip packing With rotations
We present an asymptotic fully polynomial time approximation scheme for two-dimensional strip packing with rotations. In this problem, a set of rectangles need to be packed into a...
