Self-improving Algorithms for Convex Hulls
We describe an algorithm for computing planar convex hulls in the self-improving model: given a sequence I1, I2, . . . of planar n-point sets, the upper convex hull conv(I) of eac...

Sublinear Algorithms for Approximating String Compressibility
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...

Distributed algorithms for ultrasparse spanners and linear size skeletons
We present efficient algorithms for computing very sparse low distortion spanners in distributed networks and prove some non-trivial lower bounds on the tradeoff between time, spar...

A 2.5-Factor Approximation Algorithm for the k-MST Problem
The k-MST problem requires finding that subset of at least k vertices of a given graph whose Minimum Spanning Tree has least weight amongst all subsets of at least k vertices. Th...

Local Algorithms for Finding Interesting Individuals in Large Networks
: We initiate the study of local, sublinear time algorithms for finding vertices with extreme topological properties -- such as high degree or clustering coefficient -- in large so...
