Abstract. A brachistochrone is the path along which a weighted particle falls most quickly from one point to another, and a catenary is the smooth curve connecting two points whose...
Two-dimensional phase unwrapping is the problem of deducing unambiguous "phase" from values known only modulo 2. Many authors agree that the objective of phase unwrappin...
We consider the problem of computing an approximate minimum cycle basis of an undirected non-negative edge-weighted graph G with m edges and n vertices; the extension to directed ...

Semidefinite programs (SDP) have been used in many recent approximation algorithms. We develop a general primal-dual approach to solve SDPs using a generalization of the well-know...
The problem of partitioning a partially ordered set into a minimum number of chains is a well-known problem. In this paper we study a generalization of this problem, where we not ...
