Estimating the weight of metric minimum spanning trees in sublinear-time
In this paper we present a sublinear time (1+ )-approximation randomized algorithm to estimate the weight of the minimum spanning tree of an n-point metric space. The running time...

(Almost) tight bounds and existence theorems for confluent flows
A flow is said to be confluent if at any node all the flow leaves along a single edge. Given a directed graph G with k sinks and non-negative demands on all the nodes of G, we con...

Isotopic implicit surface meshing
This paper addresses the problem of piecewise linear approximation of implicit surfaces. We first give a criterion ensuring that the zero-set of a smooth function and the one of a...

Robust pcps of proximity, shorter pcps and applications to coding
We continue the study of the trade-off between the length of PCPs and their query complexity, establishing the following main results (which refer to proofs of satisfiability of c...
