Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search in Metrics of Planar Graphs
We investigate the problem of approximate Nearest-Neighbor Search (NNS) in graphical metrics: The task is to preprocess an edge-weighted graph G = (V, E) on m vertices and a small...

Dependent Random Graphs and Multi-Party Pointer Jumping
We initiate a study of a relaxed version of the standard Erdős-Rényi random graph model, where each edge may depend on a few other edges. We call such graphs dependent random gr...
