Approximation schemes for Metric Bisection and partitioning
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...

Convergence of Distributed WSN Algorithms: The Wake-Up Scattering Problem
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...

On Span Programs
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...
