In this paper, we consider a matroid generalization of the stable matching problem. In particular, we consider the setting where preferences may contain ties. For this generalization, we propose a polynomial-time algorithm for the problem…
We show the linear convergence of Dykstra's algorithm for sets intersecting in a manner slightly stronger than the usual constraint qualifications.
Let $S$ be a set of $n$ points in general position in the plane, $r$ of which are red and $b$ of which are blue. In this paper we prove that there exist: for every $\alpha \in \left [ 0,\frac{1}{2} \right ]$, a convex set containing exactly…
While most classical NP-hard graph problems cannot be solved in time $2^{o(n)}$ on general graphs under the Exponential Time Hypothesis (ETH), many exhibit the square-root phenomenon and admit optimal algorithms running in time…
Symmetries occur naturally in CSP or SAT problems and are not very difficult to discover, but using them to prune the search space tends to be very challenging. Indeed, this usually requires finding specific elements in a group of…
Given a set of $n$ red and $n$ blue points in the plane, we are interested in matching red points with blue points by straight line segments so that the segments do not cross. We develop a range of tools for dealing with the non-crossing…

Projection methods are popular algorithms for iteratively solving feasibility problems in Euclidean or even Hilbert spaces. They employ (selections of) nearest point mappings to generate sequences that are designed to approximate a point in…
We study the Convex Set Disjointness (CSD) problem, where two players have input sets taken from an arbitrary fixed domain~$U\subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ of size $\lvert U\rvert = n$. Their mutual goal is to decide using minimum communication…
We study the problem of finding solutions to the stable matching problem that are robust to errors in the input and we obtain a polynomial time algorithm for a special class of errors. In the process, we also initiate work on a new…

Sets of $d\times d$ matrices sharing a common invariant cone enjoy special properties, which are widely used in applications. However, finding this cone or even proving its existence/non-existence is hard. This problem is known to be…
We give an algorithmic and lower-bound framework that facilitates the construction of subexponential algorithms and matching conditional complexity bounds. It can be applied to intersection graphs of similarly-sized fat objects, yielding…
In this work, we propose a new segmentation algorithm for images containing convex objects present in multiple shapes with a high degree of overlap. The proposed algorithm is carried out in two steps, first we identify the visible contours,…
We analyze the correctness of an O(n log n) time divide-and-conquer algorithm for the convex hull problem when each input point is a location determined by a normal distribution. We show that the algorithm finds the convex hull of such…
We claimed that there is a polynomial algorithm to test if two graphs are isomorphic. But the algorithm is wrong. It only tests if the adjacency matrices of two graphs have the same eigenvalues. There is a counterexample of two…
Given two convex polygons $P$ and $Q$ with $n$ and $m$ edges, the maximum overlap problem is to find a translation of $P$ that maximizes the area of its intersection with $Q$. We give the first randomized algorithm for this problem with…
In this paper, we propose an approximate projected consensus algorithm for a network to cooperatively compute the intersection of convex sets. Instead of assuming the exact convex projection proposed in the literature, we allow each node to…
We consider the method of alternating projections for finding a point in the intersection of two closed sets, possibly nonconvex. Assuming only the standard transversality condition (or a weaker version thereof), we prove local linear…
Aligning partially overlapping point sets where there is no prior information about the value of the transformation is a challenging problem in computer vision. To achieve this goal, we first reduce the objective of the robust point…
