Witnesses for non-satisfiability of dense random 3CNF formulas
We consider random 3CNF formulas with n variables and m clauses. It is well known that when m > cn (for a sufficiently large constant c), most formulas are not satisfiable. How...

Local Graph Partitioning using PageRank Vectors
A local graph partitioning algorithm finds a cut near a specified starting vertex, with a running time that depends largely on the size of the small side of the cut, rather than...

Strategic Network Formation through Peering and Service Agreements
We introduce a game theoretic model of network formation in an effort to understand the complex system of business relationships between various Internet entities (e.g., Autonomou...

Lower Bounds for Additive Spanners, Emulators, and More
An additive spanner of an unweighted undirected graph G with distortion d is a subgraph H such that for any two vertices u, v ∈ G, we have δH(u, v) ≤ δG(u, v) + d. For every...

On a Geometric Generalization of the Upper Bound Theorem
We prove an upper bound, tight up to a factor of 2, for the number of vertices of level at most in an arrangement of n halfspaces in Rd , for arbitrary n and d (in particular, the...

Dispersion of Mass and the Complexity of Randomized Geometric Algorithms
How much can randomness help computation? Motivated by this general question and by volume computation, one of the few instances where randomness provably helps, we analyze a noti...

Higher Lower Bounds for Near-Neighbor and Further Rich Problems
We convert cell-probe lower bounds for polynomial space into stronger lower bounds for near-linear space. Our technique applies to any lower bound proved through the richness meth...

Fast Algorithms for Logconcave Functions: Sampling, Rounding, Integration and Optimization
We prove that the hit-and-run random walk is rapidly mixing for an arbitrary logconcave distribution starting from any point in the support. This extends the work of [26], where t...
