On the submodularity of influence in social networks
We prove and extend a conjecture of Kempe, Kleinberg, and Tardos (KKT) on the spread of influence in social networks. A social network can be represented by a directed graph where...

Approximating minimum bounded degree spanning trees to within one of optimal
In the MINIMUM BOUNDED DEGREE SPANNING TREE problem, we are given an undirected graph with a degree upper bound Bv on each vertex v, and the task is to find a spanning tree of min...

On the fourier tails of bounded functions over the discrete cube
In this paper we consider bounded real-valued functions over the discrete cube, f : {-1, 1}n [-1, 1]. Such functions arise naturally in theoretical computer science, combinatorics...

On the bias of traceroute sampling: or, power-law degree distributions in regular graphs
Understanding the graph structure of the Internet is a crucial step for building accurate network models and designing efficient algorithms for Internet applications. Yet, obtaini...

Sublinear algorithms for testing monotone and unimodal distributions
The complexity of testing properties of monotone and unimodal distributions, when given access only to samples of the distribution, is investigated. Two kinds of sublineartime alg...
