Abstract. We study the space complexity of randomized streaming algorithms that provide one-sided approximation guarantees; e.g., the algorithm always returns an overestimate of th...

We introduce a problem that is a common generalization of the uncapacitated facility location (UFL) and minimum latency (ML) problems, where facilities not only need to be opened ...

We present new algorithms for computing approximate quantiles of large datasets in a single pass. The approximation guarantees are explicit, and apply without regard to the value ...

We give a general technique to obtain approximation mechanisms that are truthful in expectation. We show that for packing domains, any α-approximation algorithm that also bounds ...
