The shifting sands algorithm
We resolve the problem of small-space approximate selection in random-order streams. Specifically, we present an algorithm that reads the n elements of a set in random order and ...

Improved competitive ratio for the matroid secretary problem
The Matroid Secretary Problem, introduced by Babaioff et al. (2007), is a generalization of the Classical Secretary Problem. In this problem, elements from a matroid are presente...

Constructing high order elements through subspace polynomials
Every finite field has many multiplicative generators. However, finding one in polynomial time is an important open problem. In fact, even finding elements of high order has n...

Sketching valuation functions
Motivated by the problem of querying and communicating bidders’ valuations in combinatorial auctions, we study how well different classes of set functions can be sketched. More...

Fast zeta transforms for lattices with few irreducibles
We investigate fast algorithms for changing between the standard basis and an orthogonal basis of idempotents for M¨obius algebras of finite lattices. We show that every lattice...
