Approximately Global Optimization for Robust Alignment of Generalized Shapes
—In this paper, we introduce a novel method to solve shape alignment problems. We use gray-scale “images” to represent source shapes, and propose a novel two-component Gaussi...

Modeling and Optimization Problems in Contact Centers
We give a quick overview of some key issues in (quantitative) call center management: building realistic models, developing efficient tools to simulate these models, finding qui...

An Approximation Scheme for Terrain Guarding
We obtain a polynomial time approximation scheme for the terrain guarding problem improving upon several recent constant factor approximations. Our algorithm is a local search algo...

Subsequence Packing: Complexity, Approximation, and Application
We study the subsequence packing problem: given a string T and a collection of strings {Si}, find disjoint subsequences {Ti} of T with maximum total length such that each Ti is a ...
