In this paper, two faster and better spectral algorithms are presented for the multi-way circuit partitioning problem with the objective of minimizing the Scaled Cost. As pointed ...
Iterative improvement partitioning algorithms such as the FM algorithm of Fiduccia and Mattheyses 8 , the algorithm of Krishnamurthy 13 , and Sanchis's extensions of these al...

In this paper, we study the metrics of negative type, which are metrics (V, d) such that d is an Euclidean metric; these metrics are thus also known as " 2-squared" met...
We present a new shape prior segmentation method using graph cuts capable of segmenting multiple objects. The shape prior energy is based on a shape distance popular with level se...
We analyze the addition of a simple local improvement step to various known randomized approximation algorithms. Let ' 0:87856 denote the best approximation ratio currently k...
