Lower bounds for approximate polygon decomposition and minimum gap
We consider the problem of decomposing polygons (with holes) into various types of simpler polygons. We focus on the problem of partitioning a rectilinear polygon, with holes, int...

Finding a maximum likelihood tree is hard
Abstract. Maximum likelihood (ML) is an increasingly popular optimality criterion for selecting evolutionary trees [Felsenstein 1981]. Finding optimal ML trees appears to be a very...

Constrained relay node placement in wireless sensor networks: formulation and approximations
—One approach to prolong the lifetime of a wireless sensor network (WSN) is to deploy some relay nodes to communicate with the sensor nodes, other relay nodes, and the base stati...

The Generalized Deadlock Resolution Problem
In this paper we initiate the study of the AND-OR directed feedback vertex set problem from the viewpoint of approximation algorithms. This AND-OR feedback vertex set problem is m...

Approximate Decomposition: A Method for Bounding and Estimating Probabilistic and Deterministic Queries
In this paper, we introduce a method for approximating the solution to inference and optimization tasks in uncertain and deterministic reasoning. Such tasks are in general intract...
