A PTAS for -Low Rank Approximation: Solving Dense CSPs over Reals
Vincent Cohen-Addad, Chenglin Fan, Suprovat Ghoshal +4
We consider the Low Rank Approximation problem, where the input consists of a matrix and an integer , and the goal is to find a matrix of…
Universal families of arcs and curves on surfaces
Niloufar Fuladi, Arnaud de Mesmay, Hugo Parlier
The main goal of this paper is to investigate the minimal size of families of curves on surfaces with the following property: a family of simple closed curves on a surface real…
Fitting Metrics and Ultrametrics with Minimum Disagreements
Vincent Cohen-Addad, Chenglin Fan, Euiwoong Lee +1
Given recording pairwise distances, the METRIC VIOLATION DISTANCE (MVD) problem asks to compute the distance between and…
Discrete Systolic Inequalities and Decompositions of Triangulated Surfaces
Éric Colin de Verdière, Alfredo Hubard, Arnaud de Mesmay
How much cutting is needed to simplify the topology of a surface? We provide bounds for several instances of this question, for the minimum length of topologically non-trivial clos…
