We present a simple O(m+n6 / 12 ) time (1+ )-approximation algorithm for the problem of cutting a convex n-gon out of a convex m-gon with line cuts of minimum total cutting length....
This paper addresses the fundamental problem of document classification, and we focus attention on classification problems where the classes are mutually exclusive. In the course ...
We use convex relaxation techniques to produce lower bounds on the optimal value of subset selection problems and generate good approximate solutions. We then explicitly bound the...

We study a variant of the pickup-and-delivery problem (PDP) in which the objects that have to be transported can be reloaded at most d times, for a given d N. This problem is kno...
In this work we study approximation of fuzzy functions on a finite set of distinct points. Two types of approximation are considered, one method based on fuzzy linear programming p...
