Abstract—In contrast to existing work on the connected coverage problem in wireless sensor networks which assumes omnidirectional sensors with disk-like sensing range, this paper...

An optimization problem that naturally arises in the study of swarm robotics is the Freeze-Tag Problem (FTP) of how to awaken a set of "asleep" robots, by having an awak...
In this paper, we initiate the study of the approximability of the facility location problem in a distributed setting. In particular, we explore a trade-off between the amount of...
We propose a modified sequential quadratic programming (SQP) method for solving mixed-integer nonlinear programming problems. Under the assumption that integer variables have a s...
We consider the following combinatorial problem: given a set of n objects (for example, disks in the plane, triangles), and an integer L ≥ 1, what is the size of the smallest su...
