Approximating Additive Distortion of Embeddings into Line Metrics
We consider the problem of fitting metric data on n points to a path (line) metric. Our objective is to minimize the total additive distortion of this mapping. The total additive ...

Self-Concordant Barriers for Convex Approximations of Structured Convex Sets
We show how to approximate the feasible region of structured convex optimization problems by a family of convex sets with explicitly given and efficient (if the accuracy of the ap...

Approximate Maximum Parsimony and Ancestral Maximum Likelihood
— We explore the maximum parsimony (MP) and ancestral maximum likelihood (AML) criteria in phylogenetic tree reconstruction. Both problems are NP hard, so we seek approximate sol...
