A structured multiarmed bandit problem and the greedy policy
—We consider a multiarmed bandit problem where the expected reward of each arm is a linear function of an unknown scalar with a prior distribution. The objective is to choose a s...

Online Geometric Optimization in the Bandit Setting Against an Adaptive Adversary
We give an algorithm for the bandit version of a very general online optimization problem considered by Kalai and Vempala [1], for the case of an adaptive adversary. In this proble...

A tight lower bound for parity in noisy communication networks
We show a tight lower bound of (N log log N) on the number of transmission required to compute the parity of N bits (with constant error) in a network of N randomly placed sensors...

Lower Bounds on Near Neighbor Search via Metric Expansion
In this paper we show how the complexity of performing nearest neighbor (NNS) search on a metric space is related to the expansion of the metric space. Given a metric space we loo...

Steiner Transitive-Closure Spanners of Low-Dimensional Posets
Given a directed graph G = (V, E) and an integer k ≥ 1, a Steiner k-transitive-closure-spanner (Steiner k-TC-spanner) of G is a directed graph H = (VH , EH ) such that (1) V ⊆ ...
