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...
We study practically efficient methods for performing combinatorial group testing. We present efficient non-adaptive and two-stage combinatorial group testing algorithms, which i...

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...

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...

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...
