This paper is concerned with the Cauchy problem of the $2$D Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation. We prove bilinear estimates which imply local in time well-posedness in the Sobolev space $H^s({\mathbb{R}}^2)$ for $s > -1/4$, and these are optimal…
Euler diagrams are a tool for the graphical representation of set relations. Due to their simple way of visualizing elements in the sets by geometric containment, they are easily readable by an inexperienced reader. Euler diagrams where the…
This paper focuses on the problem of unsupervised alignment of hierarchical data such as ontologies or lexical databases. This is a problem that appears across areas, from natural language processing to bioinformatics, and is typically…
The three-dimensional linear regression problem is a problem of finding a spacial straight line best fitting a group of points in three-dimensional Euclidean space. This problem is considered in the present paper and a solution to it is…
In rectangle packing problems we are given the task of placing axis-aligned rectangles in a given plane region, so that they do not overlap with each other. In Maximum Weight Independent Set of Rectangles (MWISR), their position is given…
Plank problems concern the covering of convex bodies by planks in Euclidean space and are related to famous open problems in convex geometry. In this survey, we introduce plank problems and present surprising applications of plank theorems…
We show that any submodular minimization (SM) problem defined on a linear constraint set with constraints having up to two variables per inequality, are 2-approximable in polynomial time. If the constraints are monotone (the two variables…

In this paper we consider distributed allocation problems with memory constraint limits. Firstly, we propose a tractable relaxation to the problem of optimal symmetric allocations from [1]. The approximated problem is based on the Q-error…
We study the 3D-Euclidean Multidimensional Stable Roommates problem, which asks whether a given set $V$ of $s\cdot n$ agents with a location in 3-dimensional Euclidean space can be partitioned into $n$ disjoint subsets $\pi = \{R_1 ,\dots ,…
We consider the problem of optimal path planning in different homotopy classes in a given environment. Though important in robotics applications, path-planning with reasoning about homotopy classes of trajectories has typically focused on…
We consider scalar equilibrium problems governed by a bifunction in a finite-dimensional framework. By using classical arguments in Convex Analysis, we show that under suitable generalized convexity assumptions imposed on the bifunction,…

Cutting and Packing problems are occurring in different industries with a direct impact on the revenue of businesses. Generally, the goal in Cutting and Packing is to assign a set of smaller objects to a set of larger objects. To solve…
Let $P$ and $Q$ be two simple polygons in the plane of total complexity $n$, each of which can be decomposed into at most $k$ convex parts. We present an $(1-\varepsilon)$-approximation algorithm, for finding the translation of $Q$, which…

The problems of determining the optimal power allocation, within maximum power bounds, to (i) maximize the minimum Shannon capacity, and (ii) minimize the weighted latency are considered. In the first case, the global optima can be achieved…
We give a polynomial-time approximation algorithm for the (not necessarily metric) $k$-Median problem. The algorithm is an $\alpha$-size-approximation algorithm for $\alpha < 1 + 2 \ln(n/k)$. That is, it guarantees a solution having size at…
In this paper, we study the Cauchy problem of the Euler-Nernst-Planck-Possion system. We obtain global well-posedness for the system in dimension $d=2$ for any initial data in $H^{s_1}(\mathbb{R}^2)\times H^{s_2}(\mathbb{R}^2)\times…
It is well known that the containment problem (as well as the equivalence problem) for semilinear sets is $\log$-complete in $\Pi_2^p$. It had been shown quite recently that already the containment problem for multi-dimensional linear sets…
