Existing value function approximation methods have been successfully used in many applications, but they often lack useful a priori error bounds. We propose a new approximate bili...
We study the problem of orienting the edges of a weighted graph such that the maximum weighted outdegree of vertices is minimized. This problem, which has applications in the guar...
Given an undirected multigraph G and a subset of vertices S V (G), the STEINER TREE PACKING problem is to find a largest collection of edge-disjoint trees that each connects S. T...
We propose a strategy to decompose a polygon, containing zero or more holes, into “approximately convex” pieces. For many applications, the approximately convex components of ...
Abstract. We propose a unifying framework for polyhedral approximation in convex optimization. It subsumes classical methods, such as cutting plane and simplicial decomposition, bu...
