We discuss the computational complexity of random 2D Ising spin glasses, which represent an interesting class of constraint satisfaction problems for black box optimization. Two ex...

The NP-hard Interval Constrained Coloring problem appears in the interpretation of experimental data in biochemistry dealing with protein fragments. Given a set of m integer interv...

Persistent homology is the mathematical core of recent work on shape, including reconstruction, recognition, and matching. Its pertinent information is encapsulated by a pairing o...

We study a generalization of the k-median problem with respect to an arbitrary dissimilarity measure D. Given a finite set P of size n, our goal is to find a set C of size k such t...
We study algorithms for clustering data that were recently proposed by Balcan, Blum and Gupta in SODA’09 [4] and that have already given rise to two follow-up papers. The input f...
