Low-distortion embeddings of general metrics into the line
A low-distortion embedding between two metric spaces is a mapping which preserves the distances between each pair of points, up to a small factor called distortion. Low-distortion...

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...

Exploiting Within-Clique Factorizations in Junction-Tree Algorithms
It is probably fair to say that exact inference in graphical models is considered a solved problem, at least regarding its computational complexity: it is exponential in the treew...

Approximating the Best-Fit Tree Under Lp Norms
Abstract. We consider the problem of fitting an n × n distance matrix M by a tree metric T. We give a factor O(min{n1/p , (k log n)1/p }) approximation algorithm for finding the...

Generalization of Binary Search: Searching in Trees and Forest-Like Partial Orders
We extend the binary search technique to searching in trees. We consider two models of queries: questions about vertices and questions about edges. We present a general approach t...
