by the abstracting, focusing and explanatory qualities of diagram drawing in art, in this paper we propose a novel seeding strategy to generate representative and illustrative str...
The k-forest problem is a common generalization of both the k-MST and the dense-k-subgraph problems. Formally, given a metric space on n vertices V , with m demand pairs ⊆ V × ...
Let V be a set of points in a d-dimensional lp-metric space. Let s, t ∈ V and let L be any real number. An L-bounded leg path from s to t is an ordered set of points which conne...
We consider the following combinatorial problem: given a set of n objects (for example, disks in the plane, triangles), and an integer L ≥ 1, what is the size of the smallest su...
This paper proposes the fractional component analysis (FCA), whose goal is to decompose the observed signal into component signals and recover their fractions. The uniqueness of o...
