We give the first polynomial-time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the Steiner forest problem on planar graphs and, more generally, on graphs of bounded genus. As a first step, w...
We consider the problem of approximating a set P of n points in Rd by a j-dimensional subspace under the p measure, in which we wish to minimize the sum of p distances from each p...

Abstract We develop a distance metric for clustering and classification algorithms which is invariant to affine transformations and includes priors on the transformation parameters...
