On the Complexity of Approximating TSP with Neighborhoods and Related Problems
We prove that various geometric covering problems, related to the Travelling Salesman Problem cannot be efficiently approximated to within any constant factor unless P = NP. This ...

Combining Simple Models to Approximate Complex Dynamics
Stochastic tracking of structured models in monolithic state spaces often requires modeling complex distributions that are difficult to represent with either parametric or sample...

Medial axis approximation and unstable flow complex
The medial axis of a shape is known to carry a lot of information about it. In particular a recent result of Lieutier establishes that every bounded open subset of Rn has the same...

Target Counting under Minimal Sensing: Complexity and Approximations
We consider the problem of counting a set of discrete point targets using a network of sensors under a minimalistic model. Each sensor outputs a single integer, the number of disti...

VDCBPI: an Approximate Scalable Algorithm for Large POMDPs
Existing algorithms for discrete partially observable Markov decision processes can at best solve problems of a few thousand states due to two important sources of intractability:...
