A polynomial-time approximation scheme for planar multiway cut
Given an undirected graph with edge lengths and a subset of nodes (called the terminals), the multiway cut (also called the multi-terminal cut) problem asks for a subset of edges,...

Coresets, sparse greedy approximation, and the Frank-Wolfe algorithm
The problem of maximizing a concave function f(x) in a simplex S can be solved approximately by a simple greedy algorithm. For given k, the algorithm can find a point x(k) on a k-...

Tight Approximability Results for Test Set Problems in Bioinformatics
In this paper, we investigate the test set problem and its variations that appear in a variety of applications. In general, we are given a universe of objects to be “distinguish...

The entropy penalized minimum energy estimator
This paper addresses the state estimation problem of nonlinear systems. We formulate the problem using a minimum energy estimator (MEE) approach and propose an entropy penalized sc...
