In 2002, Subhash Khot formulated the Unique Games Conjecture, a conjecture about the computational complexity of certain optimization problems. The conjecture has inspired a remarkable body of work, which has clarified the computational complexity of several optimization problems and the effectiveness of “semidefinite programming” convex relaxations. In this paper, which assumes no prior knowle...

BACKGROUND In 2016, 21 million Americans aged 12 years and older needed treatment for a substance use disorder (SUD). However, only 10% to 11% of individuals requiring SUD treatment received it. Given their access to patients, primary care providers are in a unique position to perform universal Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) to identify individuals at risk, fil...

We present a quadtree-based decomposition of the interior of a polygon with holes. The complete decomposition yields a constant factor approximation of the minimum weight Steiner triangulation (MWST) of the polygon. We show that this approximate MWST supports ray shooting queries in the query-sensitive sense as deened by Mitchell, Mount and Suri. A proper truncation of our quadtree-based decomp...
