We study the problem of adding k new links to a directed graph G(V, E) in order to maximize the minimum PageRank value for a given subset of the nodes. We show that this problem is...
One of the most challenging issues in managing the large and diverse data available on the World Wide Web is the design of interactive systems to organize and represent information...
How much can we infer about the pronunciation of a language – past or present – by observing which words its speakers rhyme? This paper explores the connection between pronunc...
We obtain the first approximation algorithm for finding the k-simple shortest paths connecting a pair of vertices in a weighted directed graph. Our algorithm is deterministic an...
Abstract— In this paper, we present an optimization framework for target tracking with mobile robot teams. The target tracking problem is modeled as a generic semidefinite progr...
