Approximating the two-level facility location problem via a quasi-greedy approach
We propose a quasi-greedy algorithm for approximating the classical uncapacitated 2-level facility location problem (2-LFLP). Our algorithm, unlike the standard greedy algorithm, ...

The maximum latency of selfish routing
We give several new upper and lower bounds on the worst-case severity of Braess's Paradox and the price of anarchy of selfish routing with respect to the maximum latency obje...

A certifying algorithm for the consecutive-ones property
We give a forbidden substructure characterization of set families that have the consecutive-ones property, and a linear time algorithm to find the forbidden substructure if a set ...

On the number of rectangular partitions
How many ways can a rectangle be partitioned into smaller ones? We study two variants of this problem: when the partitions are constrained to lie on n given points (no two of whic...

On finding a guard that sees most and a shop that sells most
We present a near-quadratic time algorithm that computes a point inside a simple polygon P having approximately the largest visibility polygon inside P, and a nearlinear time algo...
