How close are Galerkin eigenvectors to the best approximation available out of the trial subspace? Under a variety of conditions the Galerkin method gives an approximate eigenvecto...
Detecting duplicates in data streams is an important problem that has a wide range of applications. In general, precisely detecting duplicates in an unbounded data stream is not fe...
We study the following variant of the bin covering problem. We are given a set of unit sized items, where each item has a color associated with it. We are given an integer paramet...
The advent of large scale multi-hop wireless networks highlights problems of fault tolerance and scale in distributed system, motivating designs that autonomously recover from tra...
Binary search trees are one of the most fundamental data structures. While the height of such a tree may be linear in the worst case, the average height with respect to the uniform...
