A plant location guide for the unsure
This paper studies an extension of the k-median problem where we are given a metric space (V, d) and not just one but m client sets {Si V }m i=1, and the goal is to open k facili...

Pants Decomposition of the Punctured Plane
A pants decomposition of an orientable surface is a collection of simple cycles that partition into pants, i.e., surfaces of genus zero with three boundary cycles. Given a set P...

Convergence of a Neural Network Classifier
In this paper, we show that the LVQ learning algorithm converges to locally asymptotic stable equilibria of an ordinary differential equation. We show that the learning algorithm ...
