Bounds for Pach's Selection Theorem and for the Minimum Solid Angle in a Simplex

Jan Kyncl

We estimate the selection constant in the following geometric selection theorem by Pach: For every positive integer d, there is a constant such that whenever are n-element subsets of , we can find a point and subsets for every , each of size at least , suc ...

On the DCJ Median Problem

Bernard Moret, Mingfu Shao

As many whole genomes are sequenced, comparative genomics is moving from pairwise comparisons to multiway comparisons framed within a phylogenetic tree. A central problem in this process is the inference of data for internal nodes of the tree from data giv ...

On Sub-determinants and the Diameter of Polyhedra

Friedrich Eisenbrand, Martin Niemeier, Marco Di Summa, Nicolas Bonifas

We derive a new upper bound on the diameter of a polyhedron , where . The bound is polynomial in and the largest absolute value of a sub-determinant of , denoted by . More precisely, we show that the diameter of is bounded by . If is bounded, then we show ...

Bin Packing via Discrepancy of Permutations

Friedrich Eisenbrand, Thomas Rothvoss, Doemoetoer Palvoelgyi

A well-studied special case of bin packing is the 3-partition problem, where n items of size > 1/4 have to be packed in a minimum number of bins of capacity one. The famous Karmarkar-Karp algorithm transforms a fractional solution of a suitable LP relaxati ...

A Polynomial-Time Solution Scheme for Quadratic Stochastic Programs

Daniel Kuhn

We consider quadratic stochastic programs with random recourse—a class of problems which is perceived to be computationally demanding. Instead of using mainstream scenario tree-based techniques, we reduce computational complexity by restricting the space o ...

Polynomial Approximations for Continuous Linear Programs

Daniel Kuhn

Continuous linear programs have attracted considerable interest due to their potential for modeling manufacturing, scheduling, and routing problems. While efficient simplex-type algorithms have been developed for separated continuous linear programs, crude ...

Expected loss bounds for authentication in constrained channels

Serge Vaudenay, Christos Dimitrakakis, Aikaterini Mitrokotsa

We derive bounds on the expected loss for authenti-cation protocols in channels which are constrained due to noisyconditions and communication costs. This is motivated by anumber of authentication protocols, where at least some partof the authentication is ...

Tight Bounds on the Redundancy of Huffman Codes

Ali Kakhbod

In this paper, we study the redundancy of Huffman codes. In particular, we consider sources for which the probability of one of the source symbols is known. We prove a conjecture of Ye and Yeung regarding the upper bound on the redundancy of such Huffman c ...

Partitioning datasets based on equalities among parameters

Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate

When a phenomenon is described by a parametric model and multiple datasets are available, a key problem in statistics is to discover which datasets are characterized by the same parameter values. Equivalently, one is interested in partitioning the family o ...

Weighted A* search - unifying view and application

The A* algorithm is a well-known heuristic best-first search method. Several performance-accelerated extensions of the exact A* approach are known. Interesting examples are approximate algorithms where the heuristic function used is inflated by a weight (o ...
