Target Counting under Minimal Sensing: Complexity and Approximations
We consider the problem of counting a set of discrete point targets using a network of sensors under a minimalistic model. Each sensor outputs a single integer, the number of disti...

On distance to monotonicity and longest increasing subsequence of a data stream
In this paper we consider problems related to the sortedness of a data stream. First we investigate the problem of estimating the distance to monotonicity; given a sequence of len...

Lower Bounds on Streaming Algorithms for Approximating the Length of the Longest Increasing Subsequence
We show that any deterministic data-stream algorithm that makes a constant number of passes over the input and gives a constant factor approximation of the length of the longest i...

Primal-dual algorithms for deterministic inventory problems
We consider several classical models in deterministic inventory theory: the single-item lot-sizing problem, the joint replenishment problem, and the multi-stage assembly problem. ...

Fast Approximate Point Set Matching for Information Retrieval
We investigate randomised algorithms for subset matching with spatial point sets—given two sets of d-dimensional points: a data set T consisting of n points and a pattern P consi...
