A Hybrid Data Mining Metaheuristic for the p-Median Problem.
Metaheuristics represent an important class of techniques to solve, approximately, hard combinatorial optimization problems for which the use of exact methods is impractical. In t...

Combinatorial Sublinear-Time Fourier Algorithms
We study the problem of estimating the best k term Fourier representation for a given frequency-sparse signal (i.e., vector) A of length N k. More explicitly, we investigate how t...

On lines avoiding unit balls in three dimensions
Let B be a set of n unit balls in R3 . We show that the combinatorial complexity of the space of lines in R3 that avoid all the balls of B is O(n3+ε ), for any ε > 0. This re...

Optimal, Distributed Decision-Making: The Case of no Communication
We present a combinatorial framework for the study of a natural class of distributed optimization problems that involve decisionmaking by a collection of n distributed agents in th...
