The 2-center problem in three dimensions
Let P be a set of n points in R3 . The 2-center problem for P is to find two congruent balls of the minimum radius whose union covers P. We present two randomized algorithms for ...

Minimizing the stabbing number of matchings, trees, and triangulations
The (axis-parallel) stabbing number of a given set of line segments is the maximum number of segments that can be intersected by any one (axis-parallel) line. We investigate probl...

Medical image segmentation via min s-t cuts with sides constraints
Graph cut algorithms (i.e., min s-t cuts) [3][10][15] are useful in many computer vision applications. In this paper we develop a formulation that allows the addition of side cons...
