We relate the sequence of minimum bases of a matroid with linearly varying weights to three problems from combinatorial geometry: k-sets, lower envelopes of line segments, and con...
This paper proposes a framework that provides significant speed-ups and also improves the effectiveness of general message passing algorithms based on dual LP relaxations. It is ap...
The Repertory Grid method is widely used in knowledge engineering to infer functional relationships between constructs given by an expert. The method is ignoring information that c...
A room is a simple polygon with a prespecified point, called the door, on its boundary. A search starts at the door and must detect any intruder that may be in the room, while maki...

Given a convex polygon P with m vertices and a set S of n points in the plane, we consider the problem of nding a placement of P that contains the maximum number of points in S. W...
