Much work has been done on learning various classes of "simple" monotone functions under the uniform distribution. In this paper we give the first unconditional lower bo...
The paper addresses the relay node placement problem in two-tiered wireless sensor networks. Given a set of sensor nodes in Euclidean plane, our objective is to place minimum numbe...
Consider the following problem: given a metric space, some of whose points are "clients," select a set of at most k facility locations to minimize the average distance f...

We consider optimization problems that can be formulated as minimizing the cost of a feasible solution wT x over an arbitrary combinatorial feasible set F {0, 1}n . For these pro...
Many tasks in computer vision involve assigning a label (such as disparity) to every pixel. These tasks can be formulated as energy minimization problems. In this paper, we conside...
