We consider submodular optimization problems, and provide a general way of translating oracle inapproximability results arising from the symmetry gap technique to computational co...
Data exchange deals with inserting data from one database into another database having a different schema. We study and solve a central computational problem of data exchange, nam...
The interdiction problem arises in a variety of areas including military logistics, infectious disease control, and counter-terrorism. In the typical formulation of network interdi...
Spectral methods for nonlinear dimensionality reduction (NLDR) impose a neighborhood graph on point data and compute eigenfunctions of a quadratic form generated from the graph. W...
The problem of optimal transportation between a set of sources and a set of wells has become recently the object of new mathematical models generalizing the Monge-Kantorovich prob...
