We present the Iterated-Tverberg algorithm, the first deterministic algorithm for computing an approximate centerpoint of a set S ∈ Rd with running time sub-exponential in d. T...
Abstract. The NP-complete Distinguishing Substring Selection problem (DSSS for short) asks, given a set of “good” strings and a set of “bad” strings, for a solution string ...
Krylov-subspace based methods for generating low-order models of complicated interconnect are extremely effective, but there is no optimality theory for the resulting models. Alte...
Hierarchical probabilistic modeling of discrete data has emerged as a powerful tool for text analysis. Posterior inference in such models is intractable, and practitioners rely on...
This paper deals with the problem of constructing a Hamiltonian cycle of optimal weight, called TSP. We show that TSP is 2/3-differential approximable and can not be differential a...
