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 ...

On the Optimality of Gluing over Scales
We show that for every α > 0, there exist n-point metric spaces (X, d) where every “scale” admits a Euclidean embedding with distortion at most α, but the whole space req...

Average-Case Analyses of Vickrey Costs
We explore the average-case “Vickrey” cost of structures in a random setting: the Vickrey cost of a shortest path in a complete graph or digraph with random edge weights; the V...
