Improved Absolute Approximation Ratios for Two-Dimensional Packing Problems
Abstract. We consider the two-dimensional bin packing and strip packing problem, where a list of rectangles has to be packed into a minimal number of rectangular bins or a strip of...

Improved Polynomial Identity Testing for Read-Once Formulas
An arithmetic read-once formula (ROF for short) is a formula (a circuit whose underlying graph is a tree) in which the operations are {+, ×} and such that every input variable la...

Approximations for Aligned Coloring and Spillage Minimization in Interval and Chordal Graphs
We consider the problem of aligned coloring of interval and chordal graphs. These problems have substantial applications to register allocation in compilers and have recently been ...

Hellinger Strikes Back: A Note on the Multi-party Information Complexity of AND
The AND problem on t bits is a promise decision problem where either at most one bit of the input is set to 1 (NO instance) or all t bits are set to 1 (YES instance). In this note...
