We propose a general dual-fitting technique for analyzing online scheduling algorithms in the unrelated machines setting where the objective function involves weighted flow-time...
The best approximation algorithm for Max Cut in graphs of maximum degree 3 uses semidefinite programming, has approximation ratio 0.9326, and its running time is (n3.5 log n) ; bu...
We present an approximate implicitization method for planar curves. The computed implicit representation is a piecewise rational approximation of the distance function to the given...
Information diffusion, viral marketing, and collective classification all attempt to model and exploit the relationships in a network to make inferences about the labels of nodes....
One of the fundamental problems in the theory of social choice is aggregating the rankings of a set of agents (or voters) into a consensus ranking. Rank aggregation has found appl...
