Incentive analysis of approximately efficient allocation algorithms
We present a series of results providing evidence that the incentive problem with VCG-based mechanisms is not very severe. Our first result uses average-case analysis to show that ...

Sleep/wake scheduling for multi-hop sensor networks: Non-convexity and approximation algorithm
We investigate the problem of sleep/wake scheduling for low duty cycle sensor networks. Our work differs from prior work in that we explicitly consider the effect of synchronizati...

Sums of squares based approximation algorithms for MAX-SAT
We investigate the Semidefinite Programming based Sums of squares (SOS) decomposition method, designed for global optimization of polynomials, in the context of the (Maximum) Sati...

Approximation algorithms via contraction decomposition
We prove that the edges of every graph of bounded (Euler) genus can be partitioned into any prescribed number k of pieces such that contracting any piece results in a graph of bou...

A boundary delimitation algorithm to approximate cell soma volumes of bipolar cells from topographical data obtained by scanning
Background: Cell volume determination plays a pivotal role in the investigation of the biophysical mechanisms underlying various cellular processes. Whereas light microscopy in pr...
