If a two-player social welfare maximization problem does not admit a PTAS, we prove that any maximal-in-range truthful mechanism that runs in polynomial time cannot achieve an app...
We revisit the problem of computing the topology and geometry of a real algebraic plane curve. The topology is of prime interest but geometric information, such as the position of...

We present a new algorithm for unfolding planar polygonal linkages without self-intersection based on following the gradient flow of a “repulsive” energy function. This algor...

We address the issue of multicasting and broadcasting in wide area WDM networks in which a source broadcasts a message to all members in S V. We formalize it as the optimal multi...
Given an alphabet , a (directed) graph G whose edges are weighted and -labeled, and a formal language L , the formal-language-constrained shortest/simple path problem consists of ...
