Entire Relaxation Path for Maximum Entropy Problems
We discuss and analyze the problem of finding a distribution that minimizes the relative entropy to a prior distribution while satisfying max-norm constraints with respect to an ...

How to solve large scale deterministic games with mean payoff by policy iteration
Min-max functions are dynamic programming operators of zero-sum deterministic games with finite state and action spaces. The problem of computing the linear growth rate of the or...

When crossings count - approximating the minimum spanning tree
We present an (1+ε)-approximation algorithm for computing the minimum-spanning tree of points in a planar arrangement of lines, where the metric is the number of crossings betwee...

Market Equilibria in Polynomial Time for Fixed Number of Goods or Agents
We consider markets in the classical Arrow-Debreu model. There are n agents and m goods. Each buyer has a concave utility function (of the bundle of goods he/she buys) and an init...
