We show for several planar and geometric problems that the best known approximation schemes are essentially optimal with respect to the dependence on ǫ. For example, we show that...
In this paper, we initiate the study of the approximability of the facility location problem in a distributed setting. In particular, we explore a trade-off between the amount of...
In this paper, we consider energy-efficient gathering of correlated data in sensor networks. We focus on single-input coding strategies in order to aggregate correlated data. For ...
We use cluster analysis as a unifying principle for problems from low, middle and high level vision. The clustering problem is viewed as graph partitioning, where nodes represent ...
In this paper we introduce and study cooperative variants of the Traveling Salesperson Problem. In these problems a salesperson has to make deliveries to customers who are willing ...
