Computing homotopic shortest paths efficiently
Geometric shortest paths are a major topic in computational geometry; see the survey paper by Mitchell [12]. A shortest path between two points in a simple polygon can be found in...

Computing f(A)b via Least Squares Polynomial Approximations
Given a certain function f, various methods have been proposed in the past for addressing the important problem of computing the matrix-vector product f(A)b without explicitly comp...

Computing Optimal Contracts in Series-Parallel Heterogeneous Combinatorial Agencies
We study an economic setting in which a principal motivates a team of strategic agents to exert costly effort toward the success of a joint project. The action taken by each agent...

Computational Complexity and Simulation of Rare Events of Ising Spin Glasses
We discuss the computational complexity of random 2D Ising spin glasses, which represent an interesting class of constraint satisfaction problems for black box optimization. Two ex...

Computing best-possible bounds for the distribution of a sum of several variables is NP-hard
In many real-life situations, we know the probability distribution of two random variables x1 and x2, but we have no information about the correlation between x1 and x2; what are ...
