We introduce an algorithm for approximating a 2manifold 3D mesh by a set of developable surfaces. Each developable surface is a generalized cylinder represented as a strip of tria...
Greedy algorithms are simple, but their relative power is not well understood. The priority framework [5] captures a key notion of “greediness” in the sense that it processes (...
In the Minimum Common String Partition problem (MCSP) we are given two strings on input, and we wish to partition them into the same collection of substrings, minimizing the numbe...
Abstract. We study the problem of maintaining a (1+ )-factor approximation of the diameter of a stream of points under the sliding window model. In one dimension, we give a simple ...
Consider a graph problem which is associated with a parameter, for example, that of finding a longest tour spanning k vertices. The following question is natural: Is there a smal...
