On Approximating Optimal Weighted Lobbying, and Frequency of Correctness Versus Average-Case Polynomial Time
We investigate issues regarding two hard problems related to voting, the optimal weighted lobbying problem and the winner problem for Dodgson elections. Regarding the former, Chris...

Approximate quantiles and the order of the stream
Recently, there has been an increased focus on modeling uncertainty by distributions. Suppose we wish to compute a function of a stream whose elements are samples drawn independen...

New and faster filters for multiple approximate string matching
We present three new algorithms for on-line multiple string matching allowing errors. These are extensions of previous algorithms that search for a single pattern. The average run...

Precedence constrained scheduling in (2 - 7/(3p+1)) optimal
We present a polynomial time approximation algorithm for unit time precedence constrained scheduling. Our algorithm guarantees schedules which are at most 2 - 7 3p+1 factor as lon...
