Nonlinear rescaling vs. smoothing technique in convex optimization
We introduce an alternative to the smoothing technique approach for constrained optimization. As it turns out for any given smoothing function there exists a modification with part...

Optimal arrangement of data in a tree directory
We define the decision problem data arrangement, which involves arranging the vertices of a graph G at the leaves of a d-ary tree so that a weighted sum of the distances between p...

Optimization Strategies for the Vulnerability Analysis of the Electric Power Grid
Identifying small groups of lines, whose removal would cause a severe blackout, is critical for the secure operation of the electric power grid. We show how power grid vulnerabilit...
