We illustrate a simple algorithm for approximating the medial axis of a 2D shape with smooth boundary from a sample of this boundary. The algorithm is compared to a more general approximation method that builds on the same idea, namely, to approximate the ...
Max-min fairness is widely used in various areas of networking. In every case where it is used, there is a proof of existence and one or several algorithms for computing it; in most, but not all cases, they are based on the notion of bottlenecks. In spite ...
In this work, we propose a new grid conversion algorithm between the hexagonal lattice and the orthogonal (a.k.a. Cartesian) lattice. The conversion process, named H2 O, is easy to implement and is perfectly reversible using the same algorithm to ...

Broder et al.'s [3] shingling algorithm and Charikar's [4] random projection based approach are considered "state-of-the-art" algorithms for finding near-duplicate web pages. Both algorithms were either developed at or used by popular web search engines. W ...
Sphere decoding (SD) is widely considered as one of the most promising detection schemes for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems. The recently proposed list sphere-decoding (LSD) algorithm is an extension of the original SD algorith ...

We study averaging algorithms in time-varying networks, and means tomeasure their performance. We present sufficient conditions on these algorithms, which ensure they lead to computation at each node, of the global average of measurements provided by each ...
Consider a dense sampling S of the smooth boundary of a planar shape O, i.e., an open subset of R-2. We show that the medial axis of the union of Voronoi balls centered at Voronoi vertices inside O has a particularly simple structure: it is the union of al ...
We consider the problem of detecting and locating buried land mines and subsurface objects by using a maneuvering array that receives scattered seismic surface waves. We demonstrate an adaptive system that moves an array of receivers according to an optima ...

An overview of global methods for dynamic optimization and mixed-integer dynamic optimization (MIDO) is presented, with emphasis placed on the control parametrization approach. These methods consist of extending existing continuous and mixed-integer global ...
