We present two new approximation algorithms with (improved) constant ratios for selecting n points in n unit disks such that the minimum pairwise distance among the points is maxi...
We consider ranking and clustering problems related to the aggregation of inconsistent information. Ailon, Charikar, and Newman [1] proposed randomized constant factor approximatio...
The starting point for collision attacks on practical hash functions is a local collision. In this paper, we make a systematic study of local collisions for the SHA-2 family. The p...
We present an algorithm for the efficient and accurate computation of geodesic distance fields on triangle meshes. We generalize the algorithm originally proposed by Surazhsky e...
—The synthesis of sound based on physical models of 2-D percussion instruments is problematic and has been approached only infrequently in the literature. Beyond the computationa...
