Discrete Approximations to Continuous Curves
Abstract— We consider the problem of approximating a continuous curve by a piecewise linear one whose segments are assumed to be connected by universal joints. Rather than taking...

From Static Code Distribution to More Shrinkage for the Multiterminal Cut
We present the problem of statically distributing instructions of a common programming language, a problem which we prove equivalent to the multiterminal cut problem. We design eï¬...

Relaxation in text search using taxonomies
In this paper we propose a novel document retrieval model in which text queries are augmented with multi-dimensional taxonomy restrictions. These restrictions may be relaxed at a ...

On sums of independent random variables with unbounded variance, and estimating the average degree in a graph
We prove the following inequality: for every positive integer n and every collection X1, . . . , Xn of nonnegative independent random variables that each has expectation 1, the pr...

Node-Weighted Steiner Tree and Group Steiner Tree in Planar Graphs
We improve the approximation ratios for two optimization problems in planar graphs. For node-weighted Steiner tree, a classical network-optimization problem, the best achievable ap...
