Disjoint Paths in Densely Embedded Graphs
We consider the following maximum disjoint paths problem (mdpp). We are given a large network, and pairs of nodes that wish to communicate over paths through the network — the g...

An Approximation Scheme for Planar Graph TSP
We consider the special case of the traveling salesman problem TSP in which the distance metric is the shortest-path metric of a planar unweighted graph. We present a polynomial...

Tracking the Best Disjunction
Abstract. Littlestone developed a simple deterministic on-line learning algorithm for learning k-literal disjunctions. This algorithm (called Winnow) keeps one weight for each of t...
