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...

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 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...
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...
: 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...
