On a linear program for minimum-weight triangulation
ABSTRACT∗ Arman Yousefi† Neal E. Young‡ Minimum-weight triangulation (MWT) is NP-hard. It has a polynomial-time constant-factor approximation algorithm, and a variety of e...

On a linear programming approach to the discrete Willmore boundary value problem and generalizations
We consider the problem of finding (possibly non connected) discrete surfaces spanning a finite set of discrete boundary curves in the three-dimensional space and minimizing (glo...

Approximating Sparsest Cut in Graphs of Bounded Treewidth
We give the first constant-factor approximation algorithm for Sparsest-Cut with general demands in bounded treewidth graphs. In contrast to previous algorithms, which rely on the f...

An Improved Approximation Bound for Spanning Star Forest and Color Saving
We present a simple algorithm for the maximum spanning star forest problem. We take advantage of the fact that the problem is a special case of complementary set cover and we adapt...

Locality Versus Globality: Query-Driven Localized Linear Models for Facial Image Computing
Conventional subspace learning or recent feature extraction methods consider globality as the key criterion to design discriminative algorithms for image classification. We demonst...
