Thin Partitions: Isoperimetric Inequalities and a Sampling Algorithm for Star Shaped Bodies
Star-shaped bodies are an important nonconvex generalization of convex bodies (e.g., linear programming with violations). Here we present an efficient algorithm for sampling a giv...

Near-Optimal Sublinear Time Algorithms for Ulam Distance
We give near-tight bounds for estimating the edit distance between two non-repetitive strings (Ulam distance) with constant approximation, in sub-linear time. For two strings of l...

Solving MAX-r-SAT Above a Tight Lower Bound
We present an exact algorithm that decides, for every fixed r ≥ 2 in time O(m) + 2O(k2 ) whether a given multiset of m clauses of size r admits a truth assignment that satisfi...

Cache-Oblivious Dynamic Dictionaries with Update/Query Tradeoffs
Several existing cache-oblivious dynamic dictionaries achieve O(logB N) (or slightly better O(logB N M )) memory transfers per operation, where N is the number of items stored, M ...
