We prove a geometric linearisation result for minimisers of optimal transport problems where the cost-function is strongly p-convex and of p-growth. Initial and target measures are allowed to be rough, but are assumed to be close to…
We consider a minimizing variant of the well-known \emph{No-Three-In-Line Problem}, the \emph{Geometric Dominating Set Problem}: What is the smallest number of points in an $n\times n$~grid such that every grid point lies on a common line…
We are developing a rule-based implementation of a tool to analyse and generate graphs. It is currently used in the domain of mason's marks. For thousands of years, stonemasons have been inscribing these symbolic signs on dressed stone.…
This paper studies the problem of designing networks that are strong structurally controllable, and robust simultaneously. For given network specifications, including the number of nodes $N$, the number of leaders $N_L$, and diameter $D$,…
We introduce a new combinatorial structure: the superselector. We show that superselectors subsume several important combinatorial structures used in the past few years to solve problems in group testing, compressed sensing, multi-channel…
Generalized Tur\'an problems investigate the maximization of the number of certain structures (typically edges) under some constraints in a graph. We study a game version of these problems, the Constructor-Blocker game. We mainly focus on…
Geometrical objects with integral side lengths have fascinated mathematicians through the ages. We call a set $P=\{p_1,...,p_n\}\subset\mathbb{Z}^2$ a maximal integral point set over $\mathbb{Z}^2$ if all pairwise distances are integral and…
This paper addresses problems on the robust structural design of complex networks. More precisely, we address the problem of deploying the minimum number of dedicated sensors, i.e., those measuring a single state variable, that ensure the…
We show a method resulting in the improvement of several polynomial-space, exponential-time algorithms. An instance of the problem Max (r,2)-CSP, or simply Max 2-CSP, is parametrized by the domain size r (often 2), the number of variables n…
Metric learning is an important family of algorithms for classification and similarity search, but the robustness of learned metrics against small adversarial perturbations is less studied. In this paper, we show that existing metric…
Codes over permutations under the infinity norm have been recently suggested as a coding scheme for correcting limited-magnitude errors in the rank modulation scheme. Given such a code, we show that a simple relabeling operation, which…
This paper investigates the possibility of constructive extraction of measurable selector from set-valued maps which may commonly arise in viability theory, optimal control, discontinuous systems etc. For instance, existence of solutions to…
Parametric Gr\"obner bases have been studied for more than 15 years and are now a further developed subject. Here we propose a general study of parametric standard bases, that is with local orders. We mainly focus on the commutative case…
The measure and conquer approach has proven to be a powerful tool to analyse exact algorithms for combinatorial problems, like Dominating Set and Independent Set. In this paper, we propose to use measure and conquer also as a tool in the…
We perform structural and algorithmic studies of significantly generalized versions of the optimal perimeter guarding (OPG) problem. As compared with the original OPG where robots are uniform, in this paper, many mobile robots with…
In this paper we study the dual codes of a wide family of evaluation codes on norm-trace curves. We explicitly find out their minimum distance and give a lower bound for the number of their minimum-weight codewords. A general geometric…
The kinematic/robotic community is not only interested in measuring the closeness of a given robot configuration to its next singular one but also in a geometric meaningful index evaluating how far the robot design is away from being…
Flag codes are multishot network codes consisting of sequences of nested subspaces (flags) of a vector space $\mathbb{F}_q^n$, where $q$ is a prime power and $\mathbb{F}_q$, the finite field of size $q$. In this paper we study the…
In this paper, we propose to study the following maximum ordinal consensus problem: Suppose we are given a metric system (M, X), which contains k metrics M = {\rho_1,..., \rho_k} defined on the same point set X. We aim to find a maximum…
At CCCG '21 O'Rourke proposed a variant of Hopcroft, Josephs and Whitesides' (1985) NP-complete problem {\sc Ruler Folding}, which he called {\sc Ruler Wrapping} and for which all folds must be 180 degrees in the same direction. Gagie,…
