Homology flows, cohomology cuts
We describe the first algorithm to compute maximum flows in surface-embedded graphs in near-linear time. Specifically, given a graph embedded on a surface of genus g, with two spe...

On Watershed Cuts and Thinnings
Abstract. We recently introduced the watershed cuts, a notion of watershed in edge-weighted graphs. In this paper, we propose a new thinning paradigm to compute them. More precisel...

Higher Eigenvalues of Graphs
— We present a general method for proving upper bounds on the eigenvalues of the graph Laplacian. In particular, we show that for any positive integer k, the kth smallest eigenva...

Approximation Schemes for Steiner Forest on Planar Graphs and Graphs of Bounded Treewidth
We give the first polynomial-time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the Steiner forest problem on planar graphs and, more generally, on graphs of bounded genus. As a first step, w...

Binary Shading Using Appearance and Geometry
In the style of binary shading, shape and illumination are depicted using two colors, typically black and white, that form coherent lines and regions in the image. We formulate th...
