Graph Partitioning by Spectral Rounding: Applications in Image Segmentation and Clustering
ct We introduce a new family of spectral partitioning methods. Edge separators of a graph are produced by iteratively reweighting the edges until the graph disconnects into the pre...

On the Complexity of Approximating TSP with Neighborhoods and Related Problems
We prove that various geometric covering problems, related to the Travelling Salesman Problem cannot be efficiently approximated to within any constant factor unless P = NP. This ...

Donation Center Location Problem
We introduce and study the donation center location problem, which has an additional application in network testing and may also be of independent interest as a general graph-theor...

The Freeze-Tag Problem: How to Wake Up a Swarm of Robots
An optimization problem that naturally arises in the study of swarm robotics is the Freeze-Tag Problem (FTP) of how to awaken a set of "asleep" robots, by having an awak...

Towards high-quality, untangled meshes via a force-directed graph embedding approach
High quality meshes are crucial for the solution of partial differential equations (PDEs) via the finite element method (or other PDE solvers). The accuracy of the PDE solution,...
