Algorithmics in Exponential Time
Exponential algorithms, i.e. algorithms of complexity O(cn ) for some c > 1, seem to be unavoidable in the case of NP-complete problems (unless P=NP), especially if the problem ...

An Analysis of Convex Relaxations for MAP Estimation
The problem of obtaining the maximum a posteriori estimate of a general discrete random field (i.e. a random field defined using a finite and discrete set of labels) is known ...

Simultaneous optimization for concave costs: single sink aggregation or single source buy-at-bulk
We consider the problem of finding efficient trees to send information from k sources to a single sink in a network where information can be aggregated at intermediate nodes in t...
