On convex relaxations of quadrilinear terms
The best known method to find exact or at least -approximate solutions to polynomial programming problems is the spatial Branch-and-Bound algorithm, which rests on computing lower...

Earth mover distance over high-dimensional spaces
The Earth Mover Distance (EMD) between two equalsize sets of points in Rd is defined to be the minimum cost of a bipartite matching between the two pointsets. It is a natural metr...

On the Construction of (Explicit) Khodak's Code and Its Analysis
Variable-to-variable codes are very attractive yet not well understood data compression schemes. In 1972 Khodak claimed to provide upper and lower bounds for the achievable redund...
