Abstract Computer vision is full of problems elegantly expressed in terms of energy minimization. We characterize a class of energies with hierarchical costs and propose a novel hi...

For c ∈ R, a c-spanner is a subgraph of a complete Euclidean graph satisfying that between any two vertices there exists a path of weighted length at most c times their geometric...

Abstract—BitTorrent has been the most popular P2P (Peer-toPeer) paradigm during recent years. Built upon great intuition, the piece-selection and neighbor-selection modules roote...
We present a simple randomized algorithmic framework for connected facility location problems. The basic idea is as follows: We run a black-box approximation algorithm for the unc...

We present new primal-dual algorithms for several network design problems. The problems considered are the generalized Steiner tree problem (GST), the directed Steiner tree proble...
