An algorithm is presented that can be used to pack sets of squares (or rectangles) into rectangles. The algorithm is applied to three open problems and will show how the best known results can be improved by a factor of at least 6\_10 6 in the first two problems and 2\_10 6 in the third.

Least median of squares (LMS) regression is a robust method to fit equations to observed data (typically in a linear model). This paper describes an approximation algorithm for LMS regression. The algorithm generates a regression solution with median residual no more than twice the optimal median re
Given an undirected graph G=(V, E) and a partition [S, T] of V, an S&T connector is a set of edges F E such that every component of the subgraph (V, F) intersects both S and T. If either S or T is a singleton, then an S&T connector is a spanning subgraph of G. On the other hand, if G is bipartite wi
The problem of completing partial latin squares arises in a number of applications, including conflict-free wavelength routing in wide-area optical networks, statistical designs, and error-correcting codes. A partial latin square is an n by n array such that each cell is either empty or contains exa
