The VPN Problem with Concave Costs
We consider the following network design problem. We are given an undirected network with costs on the edges, a set of terminals, and an upper bound for each terminal limiting the ...

Minimizing the stabbing number of matchings, trees, and triangulations
The (axis-parallel) stabbing number of a given set of line segments is the maximum number of segments that can be intersected by any one (axis-parallel) line. We investigate probl...

Quantifying the Degree of Self-Nestedness of Trees: Application to the Structural Analysis of Plants
In this paper we are interested in the problem of approximating trees by trees with a particular self-nested structure. Self-nested trees are such that all their subtrees of a give...

Applying Metric-Trees to Belief-Point POMDPs
Recent developments in grid-based and point-based approximation algorithms for POMDPs have greatly improved the tractability of POMDP planning. These approaches operate on sets of...

Lower bounds for approximate polygon decomposition and minimum gap
We consider the problem of decomposing polygons (with holes) into various types of simpler polygons. We focus on the problem of partitioning a rectilinear polygon, with holes, int...
