We propose a geometric constraint solving method based on connectivity analysis in graph theory, which can be used to decompose a well-constrained problem into some smaller ones i...
Abstract. Semidefinite relaxations are known to deliver good approximations for combinatorial optimization problems like graph bisection. Using the spectral bundle method it is pos...
Temporal information has been the focus of recent attention in information extraction, leading to some standardization effort, in particular for the task of relating events in a t...
We give a O( log n)-approximation algorithm for sparsest cut, edge expansion, balanced separator, and graph conductance problems. This improves the O(log n)-approximation of Leig...
The reconstruction of 3D objects from a point-cloud is based on sufficient separation of the points representing objects of interest from the points of other, unwanted objects. Thi...
