We study the problem of discrete geometric packing. Here, given weighted regions (say in the plane) and points (with capacities), one has to pick a maximum weight subset of the regions such that no point is covered more than its capacity.…

We present a new data structure to approximate accurately and efficiently a polynomial $f$ of degree $d$ given as a list of coefficients. Its properties allow us to improve the state-of-the-art bounds on the bit complexity for the problems…

Identifying Blaschke-Santal\'o diagrams is an important topic that essentially consists in determining the image $Y=F(X)$ of a map $F:X\to{\mathbb{R}}^d$, where the dimension of the source space $X$ is much larger than the one of the target…

In this paper we propose a new efficient interpolation tool, extremely suitable for large scattered data sets. The partition of unity method is used and performed by blending Radial Basis Functions (RBFs) as local approximants and using…

Any system of bisectors (in the sense of abstract Voronoi diagrams) defines an arrangement of simple curves in the plane. We define Voronoi-like graphs on such an arrangement, which are graphs whose vertices are locally Voronoi. A vertex…

The Vertex Separator Problem for a graph is to find the smallest collection of vertices whose removal breaks the graph into two disconnected subsets that satisfy specified size constraints. In the paper 10.1016/j.ejor.2014.05.042, the…

We present near-optimal algorithms for detecting small vertex cuts in the CONGEST model of distributed computing. Despite extensive research in this area, our understanding of the vertex connectivity of a graph is still incomplete,…

We show the first near-linear time randomized algorithms for listing all minimum vertex cuts of polylogarithmic size that separate the graph into at least three connected components (also known as shredders) and for finding the most…

$\newcommand{\floor}[1]{\left\lfloor {#1} \right\rfloor} \renewcommand{\Re}{\mathbb{R}}$ Tverberg's theorem states that a set of $n$ points in $\Re^d$ can be partitioned into $\floor{n/(d+1)}$ sets with a common intersection. A point in…

How to divide floor plans or navigation maps into semantic representations, such as rooms and corridors, is an important research question in fields such as human-robot interaction, place categorization, or semantic mapping. While most…

Minimization diagrams encompass a large class of diagrams of interest in the literature, such as generalized Voronoi diagrams. We develop an abstract perturbation theory and perform a sensitivity analysis for functions depending on sets…

Probabilistic circuits (PCs) enable exact and tractable inference but employ data independent mixture weights that limit their ability to capture local geometry of the data manifold. We propose Voronoi tessellations (VT) as a natural way to…

The all-pairs shortest distances (APSD) with differential privacy (DP) problem takes as input an undirected, weighted graph $G = (V,E, \mathbf{w})$ and outputs a private estimate of the shortest distances in $G$ between all pairs of…

We study the minimum diameter problem for a set of inexact points. By inexact, we mean that the precise location of the points is not known. Instead, the location of each point is restricted to a contineus region ($\impre$ model) or a…

Graph separation and partitioning are fundamental problems that have been extensively studied both in theory and practice. The \textsc{$p$-Size Separator} problem, closely related to the \textsc{Balanced Separator} problem, is to check…

In this paper, p-dispersion problems are studied to select $p\geqslant 2$ representative points from a large 2D Pareto Front (PF), solution of bi-objective optimization. Four standard p-dispersion variants are considered. A novel variant,…

We revisit the approximate Voronoi cells approach for solving the closest vector problem with preprocessing (CVPP) on high-dimensional lattices, and settle the open problem of Doulgerakis-Laarhoven-De Weger [PQCrypto, 2019] of determining…

Let $k$ be a fixed integer. We determine the complexity of finding a $p$-partition $(V_1, \dots, V_p)$ of the vertex set of a given digraph such that the maximum out-degree of each of the digraphs induced by $V_i$, ($1\leq i\leq p$) is at…

Given a convex polytope $P$ defined with $n$ vertices in $\mathbb{R}^3$, this paper presents an algorithm to preprocess $P$ to compute routing tables at every vertex of $P$ so that a data packet can be routed on $P$ from any vertex of $P$…

The most commonly used method to tackle the graph partitioning problem in practice is the multilevel approach. During a coarsening phase, a multilevel graph partitioning algorithm reduces the graph size by iteratively contracting nodes and…
