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...

Weighted Low-Rank Approximations
We study the common problem of approximating a target matrix with a matrix of lower rank. We provide a simple and efficient (EM) algorithm for solving weighted low-rank approximat...

Approximately Efficient Online Mechanism Design
Online mechanism design (OMD) addresses the problem of sequential decision making in a stochastic environment with multiple self-interested agents. The goal in OMD is to make valu...

Approximating Maximum Flow in Polygonal Domains using Spanners
We study a maximum flow problem in a polygonal domain P: Determine the maximum number of disjoint "thick" paths (of specified width w) through P from a source edge to a ...

Practical Discrete Unit Disk Cover Using an Exact Line-Separable Algorithm
Given m unit disks and n points in the plane, the discrete unit disk cover problem is to select a minimum subset of the disks to cover the points. This problem is NP-hard [11] and ...
