The problem of finding the most probable (MAP) configuration in graphical models comes up in a wide range of applications. In a general graphical model this problem is NP hard, bu...
ABSTRACT. The maximum independent set problem (MAXIS) on general graphs is known to be NPhard to approximate within a factor of n1-, for any > 0. However, there are many "...

We develop a computational method for simulating models of gel dynamics where the gel is described by two phases, a networked polymer and a fluid solvent. The models consist of tra...
Recently, at Crypto 2008, Boneh, Halevi, Hamburg, and Ostrovsky (BHHO) solved the longstanding open problem of "circular encryption," by presenting a public key encrypti...
We consider the polyhedral approach to solving the capacitated facility location problem. The valid inequalities considered are the knapsack, ow cover, e ective capacity, single d...
