Self-Testing Polynomial Functions Efficiently and Over Rational Domains
In this paper we give the first self-testers and checkers for polynomials over rational and integer domains. We also show significantly stronger bounds on the efficiency of a simp...

Separation and Approximation of Polyhedral Objects
Given a family of disjoint polygons P1, P2, : : :, Pk in the plane, and an integer parameter m, it is NP-complete to decide if the Pi's can be pairwise separated by a polygon...

Computing Minimal Spanning Subgraphs in Linear Time
Let P be a property of undirected graphs. We consider the following problem: given a graph G that has property P, nd a minimal spanning subgraph of G with property P. We describe ...

A General Approximation Technique for Constrained Forest Problems
We present a general approximation technique for a large class of graph problems. Our technique mostly applies to problems of covering, at minimum cost, the vertices of a graph wit...

New Algorithms for Minimum Area k-gons
Given a set P of n points in the plane, we wish to find a set Q P of k points for which the convex hull conv(Q) has the minimum area. We solve this, and the related problem of fi...

Approximating the Minimum Weight Triangulation
We show that the length of the minimum weight Steiner triangulation (MWST) of a point set can be approximated within a constant factor by a triangulation algorithm based on quadtr...
