Let V be a set of points in a d-dimensional lp-metric space. Let s, t ∈ V and let L be any real number. An L-bounded leg path from s to t is an ordered set of points which conne...
Abstract— Network monitoring and diagnosis are key to improving network performance. The difficulties of performance monitoring lie in today’s fast growing Internet, accompani...
We describe a general technique for converting an online algorithm B to a truthtelling mechanism. We require that the original online competitive algorithm has certain "nicen...
Motivated by Ajtai’s worst-case to average-case reduction for lattice problems, we study the complexity of computing short linearly independent vectors (short basis) in a lattic...
We describe a simple iterative method for proving a variety of results in combinatorial optimization. It is inspired by Jain’s iterative rounding method (FOCS 1998) for designing...
