Adaptive local ratio
Local ratio is a well-known paradigm for designing approximation algorithms for combinatorial optimization problems. At a very high level, a local-ratio algorithm first decomposes ...

On a linear programming approach to the discrete Willmore boundary value problem and generalizations
We consider the problem of finding (possibly non connected) discrete surfaces spanning a finite set of discrete boundary curves in the three-dimensional space and minimizing (glo...

A fast and efficient algorithm for low-rank approximation of a matrix
The low-rank matrix approximation problem involves finding of a rank k version of a m ? n matrix AAA, labeled AAAk, such that AAAk is as "close" as possible to the best ...

The soft heap: an approximate priority queue with optimal error rate
A simple variant of a priority queue, called a soft heap, is introduced. The data structure supports the usual operations: insert, delete, meld, and findmin. Its novelty is to beat...
