We construct a polynomial-time algorithm to approximate the branch-width of certain symmetric submodular functions, and give two applications. The first is to graph "clique-wi...

We present an iterative method for constructing additive envelopes of continuous functions on a compact set, with contact at a prespecified point. For elements of a class of subm...
