Globally-Optimal Greedy Algorithms for Tracking a Variable Number of Objects
We analyze the computational problem of multi-object tracking in video sequences. We formulate the problem using a cost function that requires estimating the number of tracks, as ...

A Simple Topology Preserving Max-Flow Algorithm for Graph Cut Based Image Segmentation
In this paper, we propose a modification to the Boykov-Kolmogorov maximum flow algorithm [2] in order to make the algorithm preserve the topology of an initial interface. This alg...

Coresets, sparse greedy approximation, and the Frank-Wolfe algorithm
The problem of maximizing a concave function f(x) in a simplex S can be solved approximately by a simple greedy algorithm. For given k, the algorithm can find a point x(k) on a k-...

A simple method for improving the primal simplex method for the multicommodity flow problem
We present a new efficient approach for solving the multicommodity flow problem as a sequence of subproblems, each on a very sparse but connected network. We show that each subpro...

On the average case performance of some greedy approximation algorithms for the uncapacitated facility location problem
In combinatorial optimization, a popular approach to NP-hard problems is the design of approximation algorithms. These algorithms typically run in polynomial time and are guarante...
