This paper presents a new method to extract shapes in drop caps and particularly the most important shape: Letter itself. This method relies on a combination of a Aujol and Chambo...
We consider the problem of finding a shortest cycle (freely) homotopic to a given simple cycle on a compact, orientable surface. For this purpose, we use a pants decomposition of...
Combinatorial auctions where bidders can bid on bundles of items can lead to more economical allocations, but determining the winners is NP-complete and inapproximable. We present...
