Given a set of rectangles we are asked to pack as many of them as possible into a bigger rectangle. The rectangles packed may not overlap and may not be rotated. This problem is NP...
We give improved approximation algorithms for a variety of latency minimization problems. In particular, we give a 3.591 -approximation to the minimum latency problem, improving o...
We consider the problem of embroidering a design pattern, given by a graph G, using a single minimum length thread. We give an exact polynomial-time algorithm for the case that G ...

In this note we present an approximation algorithm for MAX 2SAT that given a (1 - ) satisfiable instance finds an assignment of variables satisfying a 1 - O( ) fraction of all co...

Estimating overcomplete ICA bases for image windows is a difficult problem. Most algorithms require the estimation of values of the independent components which leads to computatio...
