Adaptive Importance Sampling Technique for Markov Chains Using Stochastic Approximation
For a discrete-time finite-state Markov chain, we develop an adaptive importance sampling scheme to estimate the expected total cost before hitting a set of terminal states. This s...

Shortest Path Queries Between Geometric Objects on Surfaces
Abstract. We consider geometric shortest path queries between arbitrary pairs of objects on a connected polyhedral surface P of genus g. The query objects are points, vertices, edg...

Expander flows, geometric embeddings and graph partitioning
We give a O( log n)-approximation algorithm for sparsest cut, edge expansion, balanced separator, and graph conductance problems. This improves the O(log n)-approximation of Leig...

Approximating Node-Connectivity Augmentation Problems
The (undirected) Node Connectivity Augmentation (NCA) problem is: given a graph J = (V, EJ ) and connectivity requirements {r(u, v) : u, v ∈ V }, find a minimum size set I of n...

Coresets in dynamic geometric data streams
A dynamic geometric data stream consists of a sequence of m insert/delete operations of points from the discrete space {1, . . . , ∆}d [26]. We develop streaming (1 + )-approxim...
