The method of enhanced assumed strains (EAS) is a popular tool for avoiding locking phenomena, e.g., a remedy for shear locking in plane elasticity. We consider bending-dominated p...
A star forest is a collection of vertex-disjoint trees of depth at most 1, and its size is the number of leaves in all its components. A spanning star forest of a given graph G is ...
In this paper, we show that for several clustering problems one can extract a small set of points, so that using those core-sets enable us to perform approximate clustering effici...
The vertex cover problem is a classic NP-complete problem for which the best worst-case approximation ratio is roughly 2. In this paper, we use a collection of simple reductions, e...
Many computer vision problems can be formulated as low rank bilinear minimization problems. One reason for the success of these problems is that they can be efficiently solved usin...
