The class of graphs where the size of a minimum vertex cover equals that of a maximum matching is known as K¨onig-Egerv´ary graphs. K¨onig-Egerv´ary graphs have been studied ex...
Abstract. We consider a generalization of the set cover problem, in which elements are covered by pairs of objects, and we are required to find a minimum cost subset of objects th...
In this paper we propose algorithms for solving a variety of geometric optimization problems on a stream of points in R2 or R3 . These problems include various extent measures (e.g...

Abstract. Side-chain prediction is an important subproblem of the general protein folding problem. Despite much progress in side-chain prediction, performance is far from satisfact...
We study the problem of minimum-distortion embedding of ultrametrics into the plane and higher dimensional spaces. Ultrametrics are a natural class of metrics that frequently occu...
