Bottlenecks Identification in Multiclass Queueing Networks Using Convex Polytopes
It is known that the resources that limit the overall performance of the system are the congested ones, referred to as bottlenecks. From the knowledge of the bottleneck stations w...

Message-passing for Maximum Weight Independent Set
Abstract--In this paper, we investigate the use of messagepassing algorithms for the problem of finding the max-weight independent set (MWIS) in a graph. First, we study the perfor...

Maximum Entropy Coordinates for Arbitrary Polytopes
Barycentric coordinates can be used to express any point inside a triangle as a unique convex combination of the triangle's vertices, and they provide a convenient way to lin...

Random walks on polytopes and an affine interior point method for linear programming
Let K be a polytope in Rn defined by m linear inequalities. We give a new Markov Chain algorithm to draw a nearly uniform sample from K. The underlying Markov Chain is the first t...

Visibility Computations: From Discrete Algorithms to Real Algebraic Geometry
We investigate visibility computations with moving viewpoints. The initial problems are of discrete and algorithmic nature, but even for simple classes of objects (such as balls an...
