Implicit B-Trees: New Results for the Dictionary Problem
We reopen the issue of finding an implicit data structure for the dictionary problem. In particular, we examine the problem of maintaining Ò data values in the first Ò locatio...

The Hardness of 3 - Uniform Hypergraph Coloring
We prove that coloring a 3-uniform 2-colorable hypergraph with c colors is NP-hard for any constant c. The best known algorithm [20] colors such a graph using O(n1/5 ) colors. Our...

Clustering with Qualitative Information
We consider the problem of clustering a collection of elements based on pairwise judgments of similarity and dissimilarity. Bansal, Blum and Chawla (in: Proceedings of 43rd FOCS, ...

Low-Dimensional Linear Programming with Violations
Two decades ago, Megiddo and Dyer showed that linear programming in two and three dimensions (and subsequently any constant number of dimensions) can be solved in linear time. In ...

A Constant-Factor Approximation Algorithm for the Multicommodity
We present the first constant-factor approximation algorithm for network design with multiple commodities and economies of scale. We consider the rent-or-buy problem, a type of m...
