Abstract This paper gives poly-logarithmic-round, distributed δ-approximation algorithms for covering problems with submodular cost and monotone covering constraints (Submodular-c...
The Densest k-subgraph problem (i.e. find a size k subgraph with maximum number of edges), is one of the notorious problems in approximation algorithms. There is a significant g...
In many dynamic matching applications—especially high-stakes ones—the competitive ratios of prior-free online algorithms are unacceptably poor. The algorithm should take distr...

Suppose that we are given a set of n elements d of which are “defective”. A group test can check for any subset, called a pool, whether it contains a defective. It is well know...
The matching and retrieval of 2D shapes is an important
challenge in computer vision. A large number of shape
similarity approaches have been developed, with the main
focus bein...
