Multicommodity Demand Flow in a Tree
We consider requests for capacity in a given tree network T = (V, E) where each edge of the tree has some integer capacity ue. Each request consists of an integer demand df and a ...

Selling ad campaigns: online algorithms with cancellations
We study online pricing problems in markets with cancellations, i.e., markets in which prior allocation decisions can be revoked, but at a cost. In our model, a seller receives re...

Hardness of Approximating the Shortest Vector Problem in Lattices
Let p > 1 be any fixed real. We show that assuming NP RP, there is no polynomial time algorithm that approximates the Shortest Vector Problem (SVP) in p norm within a constant ...

On the Complexity of Approximating TSP with Neighborhoods and Related Problems
We prove that various geometric covering problems, related to the Travelling Salesman Problem cannot be efficiently approximated to within any constant factor unless P = NP. This ...

Decomposing Coverings and the Planar Sensor Cover Problem
We show that a k-fold covering using translates of an arbitrary convex polygon can be decomposed into Omega(k) covers (using an efficient algorithm). We generalize this result to ...
