Nonembeddability theorems via Fourier analysis
Various new nonembeddability results (mainly into L1) are proved via Fourier analysis. In particular, it is shown that the Edit Distance on {0, 1}d has L1 distortion (log d) 1 2 â...

On the Complexity of Real Functions
We establish a new connection between the two most common traditions in the theory of real computation, the Blum-Shub-Smale model and the Computable Analysis approach. We then use...

An Approximation Algorithm for the Disjoint Paths Problem in Even-Degree Planar Graphs
In joint work with ´Eva Tardos in 1995, we asked whether it was possible to obtain a polynomial-time, polylogarithmic approximation algorithm for the disjoint paths problem in th...

The Parking Permit Problem
We consider online problems where purchases have time durations which expire regardless of whether the purchase is used or not. The Parking Permit Problem is the natural analog of...
