The complexity of testing properties of monotone and unimodal distributions, when given access only to samples of the distribution, is investigated. Two kinds of sublineartime alg...
We study the communication complexity of rumor spreading in the random phone-call model. Suppose n players communicate in parallel rounds, where in each round every player calls a...
We describe a new randomized data structure, the sparse partition, for solving the dynamic closest-pair problem. Using this data structure the closest pair of a set of n points in ...

We present a new approach for designing external graph algorithms and use it to design simple, deterministic and randomized external algorithms for computing connected components, ...

This paper focuses on the assignment of discrete points among K robots and determining the order in which the points should be processed by the robots, in the presence of geometric...
