Minimum ratio canceling is oracle polynomial for linear programming, but not strongly polynomial, even for networks
This paper shows that the minimum ratio canceling algorithm of Wallacher (1989) (and a faster relaxed version) can be generalized to an algorithm for general linear programs with ...

A point-placement strategy for conforming Delaunay tetrahedralization
A strategy is presented to find a set of points which yields a Conforming Delaunay tetrahedralization of a three-dimensional Piecewise-Linear Complex (PLC). This algorithm is nove...

Improved bounds on the sample complexity of learning
We present a new general upper bound on the number of examples required to estimate all of the expectations of a set of random variables uniformly well. The quality of the estimat...

Restructuring ordered binary trees
We consider the problem of restructuring an ordered binary tree T , preserving the in-order sequence of its nodes, so as to reduce its height to some target value h. Such a restru...
