We study the d-dimensional vector bin packing problem, a well-studied generalization of bin packing arising in resource allocation and scheduling problems. Here we are given a set...
We study the multiway cut problem in directed graphs and one of its special cases, the node-weighted multiway cut problem in undirected graphs. In DIRECTED MULTIWAY CUT (DIR-MC) t...
We consider subset feedback edge and vertex set problems in undirected graphs. The input to these problems is an undirected graph G = (V, E) and a set S = {s1, s2, . . . , sk} ⊂...
We consider a new construction of locality-sensitive hash functions for Hamming space that is covering in the sense that is it guaranteed to produce a collision for every pair of ...
To solve the approximate nearest neighbor search problem (NNS) on the sphere, we propose a method using locality-sensitive filters (LSF), with the property that nearby vectors ha...
The Adaptive Seeding problem is an algorithmic challenge motivated by influence maximization in social networks: One seeks to select among certain accessible nodes in a network, ...

A conjecture of Bandelt and Dress states that the maximum quartet distance between any two phylogenetic trees on n leaves is at most (2 3 + o(1)) n 4 . Using the machinery of fla...
We explore clustering problems in the streaming sliding window model in both general metric spaces and Euclidean space. We present the first polylogarithmic space O(1)-approximat...

A matrix A ∈ Cq×N satisfies the restricted isometry property of order k with constant ε if it preserves the 2 norm of all k-sparse vectors up to a factor of 1 ± ε. We prove...
