Matrix decomposition methods provide representations of an object-variable data matrix by a product of two different matrices, one describing relationship between objects and hidd...
A graph is chordal if it does not contain any induced cycle of size greater than three. An alternative characterization of chordal graphs is via a perfect elimination ordering, whi...
We study an economic setting in which a principal motivates a team of strategic agents to exert costly effort toward the success of a joint project. The action taken by each agent...
In this paper we are interested in the problem of approximating trees by trees with a particular self-nested structure. Self-nested trees are such that all their subtrees of a give...
Many genomic sequences and, more generally, (multivariate) time series display tremendous variability. However, often it is reasonable to assume that the sequence is actually gene...
