We study the problem of computing approximate minimum edge cuts by distributed algorithms. We present two randomized approximation algorithms that both run in a standard synchrono...

Given an undirected graph with edge lengths and a subset of nodes (called the terminals), the multiway cut (also called the multi-terminal cut) problem asks for a subset of edges,...

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...

We give a constant factor approximation algorithm for the following generalization of the k-median problem. We are given a set of clients and facilities in a metric space. Each fa...

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...

A Nash Equilibrium is a joint strategy profile at which each agent myopically plays a best response to the other agents’ strategies, ignoring the possibility that deviating fro...

We initiate the study of graph sketching, i.e., algorithms that use a limited number of linear measurements of a graph to determine the properties of the graph. While a graph on n...
