We consider the problem of maintaining a binary search tree (BST) that minimizes the average access cost needed to satisfy randomly generated requests. We analyze scenarios in whi...
We establish several approximate max-integral-flow / minmulticut theorems. While in general this ratio can be very large, we prove strong approximation ratios in the case where th...
We study the problem of computing approximate quantiles in large-scale sensor networks communication-efficiently, a problem previously studied by Greenwald and Khana [12] and Shri...
For several NP-hard network design problems, the best known approximation algorithms are remarkably simple randomized algorithms called Sample-Augment algorithms in [11]. The algor...
In recent years, gossip-based algorithms have gained prominence as a methodology for designing robust and scalable communication schemes in large distributed systems. The premise ...
