Euclidean Prize-Collecting Steiner Forest
In this paper, we consider Steiner forest and its generalizations, prize-collecting Steiner forest and k-Steiner forest, when the vertices of the input graph are points in the Euc...

Rate of Convergence for Constrained Stochastic Approximation Algorithms
There is a large literature on the rate of convergence problem for general unconstrained stochastic approximations. Typically, one centers the iterate n about the limit point then...
