Identification and Reconstruction of a Small Leak Zone in a Pipe by a Spectral Element Method
This paper deals with the identification of a zone permitting fluid to leak out of a drain. Using the analogy with crack identification by boundary measurements, we give uniqueness...

Unsupervised Seabed Segmentation Of Synthetic Aperture Sonar Imagery Via Wavelet Features And Spectral Clustering
An unsupervised seabed segmentation algorithm for synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) imagery is proposed. Each 2 m ? 2 m area of seabed is treated as a unique data point. A set of fea...

On the Hardness of Approximating Multicut and Sparsest-Cut
We show that the Multicut, Sparsest-Cut, and Min-2CNF≡ Deletion problems are NP-hard to approximate within every constant factor, assuming the Unique Games Conjecture of Khot [S...

A Simple P-Matrix Linear Complementarity Problem for Discounted Games
The values of a two-player zero-sum binary discounted game are characterized by a P-matrix linear complementarity problem (LCP). Simple formulas are given to describe the data of t...

Balanced max 2-sat might not be the hardest
We show that, assuming the Unique Games Conjecture, it is NPhard to approximate MAX 2-SAT within LLZ + , where 0.9401 < LLZ < 0.9402 is the believed approximation ratio of t...
