We present a unified framework for designing polynomial time approximation schemes (PTASs) for “dense” instances of many NP-hard optimization problems, including maximum cut,...
A new spectral approach to value function approximation has recently been proposed to automatically construct basis functions from samples. Global basis functions called proto-val...
Abstract--In this paper, we present a complete and practical algorithm for the approximation of level-set-based curve evolution suitable for real-time implementation. In particular...
We present a linear programming-based method for nding \gadgets", i.e., combinatorial structures reducing constraints of one optimization problem to constraints of another. A...

Consider a requirement graph whose vertices represent customers and an edge represents the need to route a unit of flow between its end vertices along a single path. All of these ...
