We present a new class of randomized approximation algorithms for unrelated parallel machine scheduling problems with the average weighted completion time objective. The key idea i...
Graph partitioning is a well-known optimization problem of great interest in theoretical and applied studies. Since the 1990s, many multilevel schemes have been introduced as a pra...
We raise the question of approximating the compressibility of a string with respect to a fixed compression scheme, in sublinear time. We study this question in detail for two popu...

We study the subsequence packing problem: given a string T and a collection of strings {Si}, find disjoint subsequences {Ti} of T with maximum total length such that each Ti is a ...
The general approach to fault tolerance in uniprocessor systems is to maintain enough time redundancy in the schedule so that any task instance can be re-executed in presence of f...
