When crossings count - approximating the minimum spanning tree
We present an (1+ε)-approximation algorithm for computing the minimum-spanning tree of points in a planar arrangement of lines, where the metric is the number of crossings betwee...

Multiresolution Approximation of Polygonal Curves in Linear Complexity
: We propose a new algorithm to the problem of polygonal curve approximation based on a multiresolution approach. This algorithm is suboptimal but still maintains some optimality b...

A Simple Topology Preserving Max-Flow Algorithm for Graph Cut Based Image Segmentation
In this paper, we propose a modification to the Boykov-Kolmogorov maximum flow algorithm [2] in order to make the algorithm preserve the topology of an initial interface. This alg...

Vertex Cover Approximations: Experiments and Observations
The vertex cover problem is a classic NP-complete problem for which the best worst-case approximation ratio is roughly 2. In this paper, we use a collection of simple reductions, e...

Alphabetic coding with exponential costs
An alphabetic binary tree formulation applies to problems in which an outcome needs to be determined via alphabetically ordered search prior to the termination of some window of o...
