Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) that use marginal product model factorizations have been widely applied to a broad range of, mainly binary, optimization problems. In ...
Fitting a curve of a certain type to a given set of points in the plane is a basic problem in statistics and has numerous applications. We consider fitting a polyline with k join...

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....
We construct noninteractive statistical zero-knowledge (NISZK) proof systems for a variety of standard approximation problems on lattices, such as the shortest independent vectors...
The min-SHIFT DESIGN problem (MSD) is an important scheduling problem that needs to be solved in many industrial contexts. The issue is to find a minimum number of shifts and the...
