Abstract. In the late nineties, Erickson proved a remarkable lower bound on the decision tree complexity of one of the central problems of computational geometry: given n numbers, ...
We establish several approximate max-integral-flow / minmulticut theorems. While in general this ratio can be very large, we prove strong approximation ratios in the case where th...
The doubling dimension of a metric is the smallest k such that any ball of radius 2r can be covered using 2k balls of raThis concept for abstract metrics has been proposed as a na...
The growth in computer games and wireless networks has catalyzed the production of a new generation of hand-held game consoles that support multi-player gaming over IEEE 802.11 ne...
We prove the following inequality: for every positive integer n and every collection X1, . . . , Xn of nonnegative independent random variables that each has expectation 1, the pr...
