Self-Concordant Barriers for Convex Approximations of Structured Convex Sets
We show how to approximate the feasible region of structured convex optimization problems by a family of convex sets with explicitly given and efficient (if the accuracy of the ap...

On the Riemannian Geometry Defined by Self-Concordant Barriers and Interior-Point Methods
We consider the Riemannian geometry defined on a convex set by the Hessian of a selfconcordant barrier function, and its associated geodesic curves. These provide guidance for the...

Opaque sets
The problem of finding "small" sets that meet every straight-line which intersects a given convex region was initiated by Mazurkiewicz in 1916. We call such a set an opa...

Relative Convex Hulls in Semi-dynamic Subdivisions
Abstract. We present data structures for maintaining the relative convex hull of a set of points (sites) in the presence of pairwise non-crossing line segments (barriers) that subd...

Convex Graph Invariants
The structural properties of graphs are usually characterized in terms of invariants, which are functions of graphs that do not depend on the labeling of the nodes. In this paper ...
