Given a Euclidean graph G over a set P of n points in the plane, we are interested in verifying whether G is a Euclidean minimum spanning tree (EMST) of P or G differs from it in ...
We introduce a new notion of embedding, called minimum-relaxation ordinal embedding, parallel to the standard notion of minimum-distortion (metric) embedding. In an ordinal embedd...

We establish the first nontrivial lower bounds on timespace tradeoffs for the selection problem. We prove that any comparison-based randomized algorithm for finding the median ...
We present two new algorithms for finding optimal strategies for discounted, infinite-horizon, Deterministic Markov Decision Processes (DMDP). The first one is an adaptation of...
Fractional hypertree width is a hypergraph measure similar to tree width and hypertree width. Its algorithmic importance comes from the fact that, as shown in previous work [14], ...
