We modify the k-d tree on [0, 1]d by always cutting the longest edge instead of rotating through the coordinates. This modification makes the expected time behavior of lowerdimensi...
The bipartite crossing number problem is studied, and a connection between this problem and the linear arrangement problem is established. It is shown that when the arboricity is ...
We investigate a conjecture stated by Coffman, Flatto, and Wright within the context of a stochastic machine minimization problem with a hard deadline. We prove that the conjecture...
We present a consensus algorithm that combines unreliable failure detection and randomization, two well-known techniques for solving consensus in asynchronous systems with crash f...
We build on the classical greedy sequential set cover algorithm, in the spirit of the primal-dual schema, to obtain simple parallel approximation algorithms for the set cover probl...
