On the Structure of Syntenic Distance
This paper examines some of the rich structure of the syntenic distance model of evolutionary distance, introduced by Ferretti et al. (1996). The syntenic distance between two gen...

The Freeze-Tag Problem: How to Wake Up a Swarm of Robots
An optimization problem that naturally arises in the study of swarm robotics is the Freeze-Tag Problem (FTP) of how to awaken a set of "asleep" robots, by having an awak...

On the geometry of graphs with a forbidden minor
We study the topological simplification of graphs via random embeddings, leading ultimately to a reduction of the Gupta-Newman-Rabinovich-Sinclair (GNRS) L1 embedding conjecture t...

Optimal Sherali-Adams Gaps from Pairwise Independence
Abstract. This work considers the problem of approximating fixed predicate constraint satisfaction problems (MAX k-CSP(P)). We show that if the set of assignments accepted by P co...

Indexing Spatio-Temporal Trajectories with Chebyshev Polynomials
In this paper, we attempt to approximate and index a ddimensional (d 1) spatio-temporal trajectory with a low order continuous polynomial. There are many possible ways to choose ...
