Euclidean TSP on two polygons
We give an O(n2 m + nm2 + m2 log m) time and O(n2 + m2 ) space algorithm for finding the shortest traveling salesman tour through the vertices of two simple polygonal obstacles i...

The Number of Bits Needed to Represent a Unit Disk Graph
We prove that for sufficiently large n, there exist unit disk graphs on n vertices such that for every representation with disks in the plane at least c √ n bits are needed to wr...

Distance Oracles beyond the Thorup-Zwick Bound
We give the first improvement to the space/approximation trade-off of distance oracles since the seminal result of Thorup and Zwick [STOC'01]. For unweighted graphs, our dista...

Subexponential Algorithms for Unique Games and Related Problems
We give subexponential time approximation algorithms for UNIQUE GAMES and the SMALL-SET EXPANSION. Specifically, for some absolute constant c, we give:

A Non-linear Lower Bound for Planar Epsilon-Nets
We show that the minimum possible size of an -net for point objects and line (or rectangle)ranges in the plane is (slightly) bigger than linear in 1/ . This settles a problem rais...
