Selectivity Estimation for String Predicates: Overcoming the Underestimation Problem
Queries with (equality or LIKE) selection predicates over string attributes are widely used in relational databases. However, state-of-the-art techniques for estimating selectivit...

Improved Combinatorial Group Testing for Real-World Problem Sizes
We study practically efficient methods for performing combinatorial group testing. We present efficient non-adaptive and two-stage combinatorial group testing algorithms, which i...

Some Lower Bounds on Geometric Separability Problems
We obtain lower bounds in the algebraic computation tree model for deciding the separability of two disjoint point sets. In particular, we show (n log n) time lower bounds for sep...

Output-sensitive algorithms for Tukey depth and related problems
The Tukey depth (Tukey 1975) of a point p with respect to a finite set S of points is the minimum number of elements of S contained in any closed halfspace that contains p. Algori...

Tight Lower Bounds for Certain Parameterized NP-Hard Problems
Based on the framework of parameterized complexity theory, we derive tight lower bounds on the computational complexity for a number of well-known NP-hard problems. We start by pr...
