Low-Dimensional Polytope Approximation and Its Applications to Nonnegative Matrix Factorization
In this study, nonnegative matrix factorization is recast as the problem of approximating a polytope on the probability simplex by another polytope with fewer facets. Working on th...

Strategyproof Approximation of the Minimax on Networks
We consider the problem of locating a facility on a network, represented by a graph. A set of strategic agents have different ideal locations for the facility; the cost of an age...

Medial Spheres for Shape Approximation
—We study the problem of approximating a 3D solid with a union of overlapping spheres. In comparison with a stateof-the-art approach, our method offers more than an order of magn...
