This paper describes an efficient scheme for the dynamic maintenance of the set of maxima of a 2-d set of points. Using the fact that the maxima can be stored in a staircase struct...
There are several results available in the literature dealing with efficient construction of t-spanners for a given set S of n points in Rd. t-spanners are Euclidean graphs in whic...
We present a linear programming-based method for nding \gadgets", i.e., combinatorial structures reducing constraints of one optimization problem to constraints of another. A...

We present a mathematical model for network routing based on generating paths in a consistent direction. Our development is based on an algebraic and geometric framework for defini...
This paper deals with generalized pattern search (GPS) algorithms for linearly constrained optimization. At each iteration, the GPS algorithm generates a set of directions that con...
