We prove that the max-cut and max-bisection problems are NP-hard on unit disk graphs. We also show that -precision graphs are planar for > 1/ 2 and give a dichotomy theorem f...
Abstract: We introduce the snowblower problem (SBP), a new optimization problem that is closely related to milling problems and to some material-handling problems. The objective in...

-- We introduce a thermodynamic (large deviation) formalism for computing error exponents in error-correcting codes. Within this framework, we apply the heuristic cavity method fro...
Abstract - This short paper introduces two new fusion rules for combining quantitative basic belief assignments. These rules although very simple have not been proposed in literatu...
Abstract. The simplex method in Linear Programming motivates several problems of asymptotic convex geometry. We discuss some conjectures and known results in two related directions...
