Fair Colorful k-Center Clustering

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Xinrui Jia

An instance of colorful k-center consists of points in a metric space that are colored red or blue, along with an integer k and a coverage requirement for each color. The goal is to find the smallest radius ρ such that there exist balls of radius ρ around ...

Topology-Finding of Tensegrity Structures Considering Global Stability Condition

Yafeng Wang

This study proposes a general framework for topology-finding or topology optimization of tensegrity structures. The existing topology-finding formulation of tensegrity structures based on mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) was improved and transformed ...

Interpolatory Rational Model Order Reduction of Parametric Problems Lacking Uniform Inf-Sup Stability

Davide Pradovera

We present a technique for the approximation of a class of Hilbert space--valued maps which arise within the framework of model order reduction (MOR) for parametric partial differential equations, whose solution map has a meromorphic structure. Our MOR str ...

Fully dynamic bin packing revisited

Kim-Manuel Klein, Klaus Jansen

We consider the fully dynamic bin packing problem, where items arrive and depart in an online fashion and repacking of previously packed items is allowed. The goal is, of course, to minimize both the number of bins used as well as the amount of repacking. ...

New Graph Algorithms via Polyhedral Techniques

Jakub Tarnawski

In this thesis we give new algorithms for two fundamental graph problems. We develop novel ways of using linear programming formulations, even exponential-sized ones, to extract structure from problem instances and to guide algorithms in making progress. S ...

No Small Linear Program Approximates Vertex Cover Within a Factor 2-epsilon

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Abbas Bazzi

The vertex cover problem is one of the most important and intensively studied combinatorial optimization problems. Khot and Regev [Khot S, Regev O (2008) Vertex cover might be hard to approximate to within 2 - epsilon. J. Comput. System Sci. 74(3): 335-349 ...

Nested Convex Bodies are Chaseable

Marek Elias

In the Convex Body Chasing problem, we are given an initial point v0. Rd and an online sequence of n convex bodies F1,..., Fn. When we receive Ft, we are required to move inside Ft. Our goal is to minimize the total distance traveled. This fundamental onli ...

Overlapping Multi-Bandit Best Arm Identification

Volkan Cevher, Jonathan Mark Scarlett, Ilija Bogunovic

In the multi-armed bandit literature, the multi-bandit best-arm identification problem consists of determining each best arm in a number of disjoint groups of arms, with as few total arm pulls as possible. In this paper, we introduce a variant of the multi ...

The covering radius and a discrete surface area for non-hollow simplices

Matthias Schymura

We explore upper bounds on the covering radius of non-hollow lattice polytopes. In particular, we conjecture a general upper bound of d/2 in dimension d, achieved by the "standard terminal simplices" and direct sums of them. We prove this conjecture up to ...
