We design polynomial time approximation schemes (PTASs) for Metric BISECTION, i.e. dividing a given finite metric space into two halves so as to minimize or maximize the sum of di...

The problem of dividing a sequence of values into segments occurs in database systems, information retrieval, and knowledge management. The challenge is to select a finite number ...
Abstract. In this work we study the theoretical and empirical properties of various global inference algorithms for multi-document summarization. We start by defining a general fr...
In this paper, we analyze the problem of finding a periodic schedule for the wake-up times of a set of nodes in a Wireless Sensor Network that optimizes the coverage of the region...

We introduce a linear algebraic model of computation, the Span Program, and prove several upper and lower bounds on it. These results yield the following applications in complexit...
