Medial axis approximation and unstable flow complex
The medial axis of a shape is known to carry a lot of information about it. In particular a recent result of Lieutier establishes that every bounded open subset of Rn has the same...

Approximation algorithms for allocation problems: Improving the factor of 1 - 1/e
Combinatorial allocation problems require allocating items to players in a way that maximizes the total utility. Two such problems received attention recently, and were addressed ...

Local linear regression with adaptive orthogonal fitting for the wind power application
For short-term forecasting of wind generation, a necessary step is to model the function for the conversion of meteorological variables (mainly wind speed) to power production. Su...

A Lower Bound for Agnostically Learning Disjunctions
We prove that the concept class of disjunctions cannot be pointwise approximated by linear combinations of any small set of arbitrary real-valued functions. That is, suppose there ...

Optimal Aggregation Algorithms for Middleware
Assume that each object in a database has m grades, or scores, one for each of m attributes. For example, an object can have a color grade, that tells how red it is, and a shape g...
