Given a set of numbers, and a set of bins of fixed capacity, the NP-complete problem of bin packing is to find the minimum number of bins needed to contain the numbers, such that ...
We show how to compute the edit distance between two strings of length n up to a factor of 2 ~O( log n) in n1+o(1) time. This is the first sub-polynomial approximation algorithm f...
It is well-known that the greedy algorithm produces high quality spanners and therefore is used in several applications. However, for points in d-dimensional Euclidean space, the g...

We formulate the problem of computing the widest empty corridor with at most ` links and right-angle turns for a set of n points. It is a generalization of the widest empty corrid...
We present a parallel priority data structure that improves the running time of certain algorithms for problems that lack a fast and work-efficient parallel solution. As a main a...
