Discrete stochastic optimization using linear interpolation
We consider discrete stochastic optimization problems where the objective function can only be estimated by a simulation oracle; the oracle is defined only at the discrete points....

Quadrangulations of Planar Sets
We consider the problem of obtaining “nice” quadrangulations of planar sets of points. For many applications “nice” means that the quadrilaterals obtained are convex if po...
