Abstract— This paper is concerned with the distributed averaging problem over a given undirected graph. To enable every vertex to compute the average of the initial numbers sitti...
Let S be a finite set of points in the Euclidean plane, and let E be the complete graph whose point-set is S. Chew, in 1986, proved a lower bound of /2 on the stretch factor of th...
Cold-start scenarios in recommender systems are situations in which no prior events, like ratings or clicks, are known for certain users or items. To compute predictions in such ca...

We study the forward and backward substitution phases of a sparse multifrontal factorization. These phases are often neglected in papers on sparse direct factorization but, in man...

Many medical imaging applications require the computation of dense correspondence vector fields that match one surface with another. To avoid the need for a large set of manually-d...
