In this work, we establish several rigidity results for spacelike self-shrinkers immersed in the pseudo-Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{n+p}_p$. Under suitable boundedness conditions on either the mean curvature vector or the second…

We prove that Simulated Annealing with an appropriate cooling schedule computes arbitrarily tight constant-factor approximations to the minimum spanning tree problem in polynomial time. This result was conjectured by Wegener (2005). More…

We present a simple greedy procedure to compute an $(\alpha,\beta)$-spanner for a graph $G$. We then show that this procedure is useful for building fault-tolerant spanners, as well as spanners for weighted graphs. Our first main result is…

Graph spanners are sparse subgraphs that faithfully preserve the distances in the original graph up to small stretch. Spanner have been studied extensively as they have a wide range of applications ranging from distance oracles, labeling…

We show how to construct $(1+\varepsilon)$-spanner over a set $P$ of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ that is resilient to a catastrophic failure of nodes. Specifically, for prescribed parameters $\vartheta,\varepsilon \in (0,1)$, the computed…

We obtain improved lower bounds for additive spanners, additive emulators, and diameter-reducing shortcut sets. Spanners and emulators are sparse graphs that approximately preserve the distances of a given graph. A shortcut set is a set of…

Consider a set $P$ of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$. In the discrete median line segment problem, the objective is to find a line segment bounded by a pair of points in $P$ such that the sum of the Euclidean distances from $P$ to the line…

The Euclidean Steiner Tree Problem (EST) seeks a minimum-cost tree interconnecting a given set of terminal points in the Euclidean plane, allowing the use of additional intersection points. In this paper, we consider two variants that…

This paper defines multidimensional sequential optimization numbers and prove that the unsigned Stirling numbers of first kind are 1-dimensional sequential optimization numbers. This paper gives a recurrence formula and an upper bound of…

A \emph{spanner} of a graph $G$ is a subgraph $H$ that approximately preserves shortest path distances in $G$. Spanners are commonly applied to compress computation on metric spaces corresponding to weighted input graphs. Classic spanner…

In this paper, we study derivatives of powers of Euclidean norm. We prove their H\"older continuity and establish explicit expressions for the corresponding constants. We show that these constants are optimal for odd derivatives and at most…

We describe an algorithm that takes as input n points in the plane and a parameter {\epsilon}, and produces as output an embedded planar graph having the given points as a subset of its vertices in which the graph distances are a (1 +…

This paper addresses the challenges of the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory regarding shortening and stretching assumptions. Certain boundary conditions, such as a cantilever with a horizontal spring attached to its end, result in beams that…

For a weighted graph $G = (V, E, w)$ and a designated source vertex $s \in V$, a spanning tree that simultaneously approximates a shortest-path tree w.r.t. source $s$ and a minimum spanning tree is called a shallow-light tree (SLT).…

Assume a (semi)parametrically efficient estimator is given of the Euclidean parameter in a (semi)parametric model. A submodel is obtained by constraining this model in that a continuously differentiable function of the Euclidean parameter…

Distance geometry explores the properties of distance spaces that can be exactly represented as the pairwise Euclidean distances between points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ ($d \geq 1$), or equivalently, distance spaces that can be isometrically…

Given an undirected possibly weighted $n$-vertex graph $G=(V,E)$ and a set $\mathcal{P}\subseteq V^2$ of pairs, a subgraph $S=(V,E')$ is called a ${\cal P}$-pairwise $\alpha$-spanner of $G$, if for every pair $(u,v)\in\mathcal{P}$ we have…

We present a new efficient localized algorithm to construct, for any given quasi-unit disk graph G=(V,E) and any e > 0, a (1+e)-spanner for G of maximum degree O(1) and total weight O(w(MST)), where w(MST) denotes the weight of a minimum…

We devise a new embedding technique, which we call measured descent, based on decomposing a metric space locally, at varying speeds, according to the density of some probability measure. This provides a refined and unified framework for the…

The metric sketching problem is defined as follows. Given a metric on $n$ points, and $\epsilon>0$, we wish to produce a small size data structure (sketch) that, given any pair of point indices, recovers the distance between the points up…
