We prove that various geometric covering problems, related to the Travelling Salesman Problem cannot be efficiently approximated to within any constant factor unless P = NP. This ...
We study auctions in which bidders have severe constraints on the size of messages they are allowed to send to the auctioneer. In such auctions, each bidder has a set of k possible...
We address a fundamental problem arising from analysis of biomolecular sequences. The input consists of two numbers wmin and wmax and a sequence S of n number pairs (ai, wi) with ...
This paper presents a dynamic algorithm for the construction of the Euclidean Voronoi diagram of a set of convex objects in the plane. We consider first the Voronoi diagram of smo...
In [2] it was shown that the obvious semi-clairvoyant generalization of the Shortest Processing Time is O(1)-competitive with respect to average stretch on a single machine. In [2...
