Optimizing through Co-evolutionary Avalanches
Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...

Spanners for Geometric Intersection Graphs
A ball graph is an intersection graph of a set of balls with arbitrary radii. Given a real number t > 1, we say that a subgraph G′ of a graph G is a t-spanner of G, if for eve...

Efficient clustering and visibility calculation for global illumination
Using a radiosity method to estimate light inter-reflections within large scenes still remains a difficult task. The two main reasons are: (i) the computations entailed by the rad...
