Multiple-Source Shortest Paths in Embedded Graphs
Let G be a directed graph with n vertices and non-negative weights in its directed edges, embedded on a surface of genus g, and let f be an arbitrary face of G. We describe an alg...

Combinatorial curve reconstruction in Hilbert spaces: A new sampling theory and an old result revisited
The goals of this paper are twofold. The first is to present a new sampling theory for curves, based on a new notion of local feature size. The properties of this new feature size...

Shape Replication Through Self-Assembly and RNase Enzymes
We introduce the problem of shape replication in the Wang tile self-assembly model. Given an input shape, we consider the problem of designing a self-assembly system which will re...

Approximability of Robust Network Design
We consider robust network design problems where the set of feasible demands may be given by an arbitrary polytope or convex body more generally. This model, introduced by BenAmeu...

Self-improving Algorithms for Convex Hulls
We describe an algorithm for computing planar convex hulls in the self-improving model: given a sequence I1, I2, . . . of planar n-point sets, the upper convex hull conv(I) of eac...
