Primal-Dual RNC Approximation Algorithms for Set Cover and Covering Integer Programs
We build on the classical greedy sequential set cover algorithm, in the spirit of the primal-dual schema, to obtain simple parallel approximation algorithms for the set cover probl...

Randomized Data Structures for the Dynamic Closest-Pair Problem
We describe a new randomized data structure, the sparse partition, for solving the dynamic closest-pair problem. Using this data structure the closest pair of a set of n points in ...

The Queue-Read Queue-Write PRAM Model: Accounting for Contention in Parallel Algorithms
This paper introduces the queue-read, queue-write (qrqw) parallel random access machine (pram) model, which permits concurrent reading and writing to shared memory locations, but ...
