Folding Flat Silhouettes and Wrapping Polyhedral Packages: New Results in Computational Origami
We show a remarkable fact about folding paper: From a single rectangular sheet of paper, one can fold it into a flat origami that takes the (scaled) shape of any connected polygo...

An almost four-approximation algorithm for maximum weight triangulation
We consider the following planar maximum weight triangulation (MAT) problem: given a set of n points in the plane, find a triangulation such that the total length of edges in tria...

Convex Programming Methods for Global Optimization
We investigate some approaches to solving nonconvex global optimization problems by convex nonlinear programming methods. We assume that the problem becomes convex when selected va...
