This paper considers problems of the following type: given an edgeweighted k-colored input graph with maximum color class size c, find a minimum or maximum c-way cut such that eac...
We present a simple O(m+n6 / 12 ) time (1+ )-approximation algorithm for the problem of cutting a convex n-gon out of a convex m-gon with line cuts of minimum total cutting length....
Abstract. Semidefinite relaxations are known to deliver good approximations for combinatorial optimization problems like graph bisection. Using the spectral bundle method it is pos...
Mining discrete patterns in binary data is important for subsampling, compression, and clustering. We consider rankone binary matrix approximations that identify the dominant patt...
Given an integer h, a graph G = (V, E) with arbitrary positive edge capacities and k pairs of vertices (s1, t1), (s2, t2), . . . , (sk, tk), called terminals, an h-route cut is a ...
