An Algorithmic Hypergraph Regularity Lemma
Szemer´edi’s Regularity Lemma [22, 23] is one of the most powerful tools in combinatorics. It asserts that all large graphs G admit a bounded partition of E(G), most classes of...

Sampling on Lattices with Free Boundary Conditions Using Randomized Extensions
Many statistical physics models are defined on an infinite lattice by taking appropriate limits of finite lattice regions, where a key consideration is how the boundaries are d...

Phase Transitions in Group Testing
The group testing problem consists of determining a sparse subset of a set of items that are “defective” based on a set of possibly noisy tests, and arises in areas such as me...

Algorithms and Adaptivity Gaps for Stochastic Probing
A stochastic probing problem consists of a set of elements whose values are independent random variables. The algorithm knows the distributions of these variables, but not the act...

Evolutionary Dynamics in Finite Populations Mix Rapidly
In this paper we prove that the mixing time of a broad class of evolutionary dynamics in finite, unstructured populations is roughly logarithmic in the size of the state space. A...

Deterministic APSP, Orthogonal Vectors, and More: Quickly Derandomizing Razborov-Smolensky
We show how to solve all-pairs shortest paths on n nodes in deterministic n3/2Ω( √ logn) time, and how to count the pairs of orthogonal vectors among n 0-1 vectors in d = clog...

Packing Small Vectors
Online d-dimensional vector packing models many settings such as minimizing resources in data centers where jobs have multiple resource requirements (CPU, Memory, etc.). However, ...
