Entropy estimation using the principle of maximum entropy
In this paper, we present a novel entropy estimator for a given set of samples drawn from an unknown probability density function (PDF). Counter to other entropy estimators, the e...

Approximating min-max k-clustering
We consider the problems of set partitioning into k clusters with minimum total cost and minimum of the maximum cost of a cluster. The cost function is given by an oracle, and we ...
