This article studies a degree-bounded generalization of independent sets called co-k-plexes. Constant factor approximation algorithms are developed for the maximum co-k-plex probl...
The segment minimization problem consists of representing an integer matrix as the sum of the fewest number of integer matrices each of which have the property that the non-zeroes...

Abstract. It has been shown that many kernel methods can be equivalently formulated as minimal-enclosing-ball (MEB) problems in certain feature space. Exploiting this reduction eff...

We give the first black-box reduction from arbitrary approximation algorithms to truthful approximation mechanisms for a non-trivial class of multiparameter problems. Specifically,...
Abstract--Finding the longest simple path in a generic undirected graph is a challenging issue that belongs to the NPComplete class of problems. Four approaches based on genetic al...
