We show that for every n-point metric space M and positive integer k, there exists a spanning tree T with unweighted diameter O(k) and weight w(T) = O(k · n1/k ) · w(MST(M)), an...
We show a tight lower bound of (N log log N) on the number of transmission required to compute the parity of N bits (with constant error) in a network of N randomly placed sensors...

We introduce a new approach for establishing fixed-parameter tractability of problems parameterized above tight lower bounds or below tight upper bounds. To illustrate the approac...

The multi-label problem is of fundamental importance to computer vision, yet finding global minima of the associated energies is very hard and usually impossible in practice. Rec...

We propose a new scheme for computing lower bounds for the non-oriented bin-packing problem when the bin is a square. It leads to bounds that theoretically dominate previous resul...
