Tree search algorithms, such as branch-and-bound, are the most widely used tools for solving combinatorial and nonconvex problems. For example, they are the foremost method for solving (mixed) integer programs and constraint satisfaction…
Classification of datasets into two or more distinct classes is an important machine learning task. Many methods are able to classify binary classification tasks with a very high accuracy on test data, but cannot provide any easily…
Trajectory replanning is a critical problem for multi-robot teams navigating dynamic environments. We present RLSS (Replanning using Linear Spatial Separations): a real-time trajectory replanning algorithm for cooperative multi-robot teams…
Treemaps have been widely applied to the visualization of hierarchical data. A treemap takes a weighted tree and visualizes its leaves in a nested planar geometric shape, with sub-regions partitioned such that each sub-region has an area…
Neural networks use their hidden layers to transform input data into linearly separable data clusters, with a linear or a perceptron type output layer making the final projection on the line perpendicular to the discriminating hyperplane.…

A rectilinear Steiner tree for a set $P$ of points in $\mathbb{R}^2$ is a tree that connects the points in $P$ using horizontal and vertical line segments. The goal of Minimal Rectilinear Steiner Tree is to find a rectilinear Steiner tree…
We study the problem of computing the triplet distance between two rooted unordered trees with $n$ labeled leafs. Introduced by Dobson 1975, the triplet distance is the number of leaf triples that induce different topologies in the two…
We study the following geometric separation problem: Given a set $R$ of red points and a set $B$ of blue points in the plane, find a minimum-size set of lines that separate $R$ from $B$. We show that, in its full generality, parameterized…
We present a data structure that, given a graph $G$ of $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, and a suitable pair of nested $r$-divisions of $G$, preprocesses $G$ in $O(m+n)$ time and handles any series of edge-deletions in $O(m)$ total time while…
In this paper, we presented a novel semi-supervised one-class classification algorithm which assumes that class is linearly separable from other elements. We proved theoretically that class is linearly separable if and only if it is maximal…
Many signal processing problems can be solved by maximizing the fitness of a segmented model over all possible partitions of the data interval. This letter describes a simple but powerful algorithm that searches the exponentially large…
Given a set $P$ of $n$ points and a set $S$ of $m$ disks in the plane, the disk coverage problem asks for a smallest subset of disks that together cover all points of $P$. The problem is NP-hard. In this paper, we consider a line-separable…
For a given graph G and integers b,f >= 0, let S be a subset of vertices of G of size b+1 such that the subgraph of G induced by S is connected and S can be separated from other vertices of G by removing f vertices. We prove that every…
Consider a set $P$ of $n$ points picked uniformly and independently from $[0,1]^d$ for a constant dimension $d$ -- such a point set is extremely well behaved in many aspects. For example, for a fixed $r \in [0,1]$, we prove a new…
The famous Padberg-Rao separation algorithm for b-matching polyhedra can be implemented to run in O(n^2m log(n^2/m)) time in the uncapacitated case, and in O(nm^2 log(n^2/m)) time in the capacitated case (where n is the number of vertices…

A set of points $X = X_B \cup X_R \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ is linearly separable if the convex hulls of $X_B$ and $X_R$ are disjoint, hence there exists a hyperplane separating $X_B$ from $X_R$. Such a hyperplane provides a method for…
