A Constant-Factor Approximation Algorithm for the Multicommodity
We present the first constant-factor approximation algorithm for network design with multiple commodities and economies of scale. We consider the rent-or-buy problem, a type of m...

A new algorithmic approach to the computation of Minkowski functionals of polyconvex sets
An algorithm is proposed for the simultaneous computation of all Minkowski functionals (except for the volume) of sets from the convex ring in Rd discretized with respect to a give...
