The k-means method is an old but popular clustering algorithm known for its observed speed and its simplicity. Until recently, however, no meaningful theoretical bounds were known...
Many NP-hard problems can be solved efficiently when the input is restricted to graphs of bounded tree-width or clique-width. In particular, by the celebrated result of Courcelle,...

The k-means algorithm is a well-known method for partitioning n points that lie in the d-dimensional space into k clusters. Its main features are simplicity and speed in practice....
Howard's policy iteration algorithm is one of the most widely used algorithms for finding optimal policies for controlling Markov Decision Processes (MDPs). When applied to we...
This paper presents a new lower bound for the discrete strategy improvement algorithm for solving parity games due to V¨oge and Jurdzi´nski. First, we informally show which stru...
