Fast asynchronous byzantine agreement and leader election with full information
We resolve two long-standing open problems in distributed computation by describing polylogarithmic protocols for Byzantine agreement and leader election in the asynchronous full ...

Approximating connected facility location problems via random facility sampling and core detouring
We present a simple randomized algorithmic framework for connected facility location problems. The basic idea is as follows: We run a black-box approximation algorithm for the unc...

Price based protocols for fair resource allocation: convergence time analysis and extension to Leontief utilities
We analyze several distributed, continuous time protocols for a fair allocation of bandwidths to flows in a network (or resources to agents). Our protocols converge to an allocati...

Coresets, sparse greedy approximation, and the Frank-Wolfe algorithm
The problem of maximizing a concave function f(x) in a simplex S can be solved approximately by a simple greedy algorithm. For given k, the algorithm can find a point x(k) on a k-...

Maintaining deforming surface meshes
We present a method to maintain a mesh approximating a deforming surface, which is specified by a dense set of sample points. We identify a reasonable motion model for which a pro...

On stars and Steiner stars
A Steiner star for a set P of n points in Rd connects an arbitrary point in Rd to all points of P, while a star connects one of the points in P to the remaining n - 1 points of P....
