Consider the following problem: given a metric space, some of whose points are "clients," select a set of at most k facility locations to minimize the average distance f...

We propose a more efficient privacy preserving set intersection protocol which improves the previously known result by a factor of O(N) in both the computation and communication c...
Normal surface theory is a central tool in algorithmic threedimensional topology, and the enumeration of vertex normal surfaces is the computational bottleneck in many important a...
We present a clustering scheme that combines a mode-seeking phase with a cluster merging phase in the corresponding density map. While mode detection is done by a standard graph-b...
We introduce a new notion of minors for simplicial complexes (hypergraphs), so-called homological minors. Our motivation is to propose a general approach to attack certain extrema...
