We study the recently introduced problem of finding dense common subgraphs: Given a sequence of graphs that share the same vertex set, the goal is to find a subset of vertices $S$ that maximizes some aggregate measure of the density of the…

The Euclidean Steiner tree problem asks to find a min-cost metric graph that connects a given set of \emph{terminal} points $X$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$, possibly using points not in $X$ which are called Steiner points. Even though near-linear…

The split feasibility problem is to find an element in the intersection of a closed set $C$ and the linear preimage of another closed set $D$, assuming the projections onto $C$ and $D$ are easy to compute. This class of problems arises…
