In 1988, Seiya Negami published a conjecture stating that a graph G has a finite planar cover (i.e. a homomorphism from some planar graph onto G which maps the vertex neighbourhoo...
Abstract Abstract. In this paper we improve the analysis of approximation algorithms based on semidefinite programming for the maximum graph partitioning problems MAX-k-CUT, MAX-k...
We present new combinatorial approximation algorithms for k-set cover. Previous approaches are based on extending the greedy algorithm by efficiently handling small sets. The new a...

An important problem in geometric compression is to find succinct representations (encoding schemes) for the conectivity of polygonal meshes. In this note, we show that the encod...
We present first steps towards intelligent retrieval of music album covers from the web. The continuous growth of electronic music distribution constantly increases the interest in...
