We consider two basic computational problems regarding discrete probability distributions: (1) approximating the statistical difference (aka variation distance) between two given d...
Given a forest F = (V, E) and a positive integer D, we consider the problem of finding a minimum number of new edges E such that in the augmented graph H = (V, E∪E ) any pair of...
In this paper, we study the Maximum lifetime Target Coverage problem (MTC), which is to maximize the network lifetime while guaranteeing the complete coverage of all the targets. ...
We study the optimal approximation of the solution of an operator equation A(u) = f by four types of mappings: a) linear mappings of rank n; b) n-term approximation with respect t...
We investigate a natural combinatorial optimization problem called the Label Cut problem. Given an input graph G with a source s and a sink t, the edges of G are classified into ...
