Minimizing Maximum Flow-time on Related Machines
We consider the online problem of minimizing the maximum flow-time on related machines. This is a natural generalization of the extensively studied makespan minimization problem ...

Dimension Expanders via Rank Condensers
An emerging theory of “linear-algebraic pseudorandomness” aims to understand the linear-algebraic analogs of fundamental Boolean pseudorandom objects where the rank of subspac...

Weighted Polynomial Approximations: Limits for Learning and Pseudorandomness
Low-degree polynomial approximations to the sign function underlie pseudorandom generators for halfspaces, as well as algorithms for agnostically learning halfspaces. We study the...

Learning Circuits with few Negations
Monotone Boolean functions, and the monotone Boolean circuits that compute them, have been intensively studied in complexity theory. In this paper we study the structure of Boolea...

On Linear Programming Relaxations for Unsplittable Flow in Trees
We study some linear programming relaxations for the Unsplittable Flow problem on trees (UFPtree). Inspired by results obtained by Chekuri, Ene, and Korula for Unsplittable Flow o...
