Approximation Algorithms for Scheduling Parallel Jobs
Abstract. In this paper we study variants of the non-preemptive parallel job scheduling problem where the number of machines is polynomially bounded in the number of jobs. For this...

Clustering with Lower Bound on Similarity
We propose a new method, called SimClus, for clustering with lower bound on similarity. Instead of accepting k the number of clusters to find, the alternative similarity-based app...

Ramsey-type theorems for metric spaces with applications to online problems
A nearly logarithmic lower bound on the randomized competitive ratio for the metrical task systems problem is presented. This implies a similar lower bound for the extensively stu...
