Streaming Algorithms for extent problems in high dimensions
We develop (single-pass) streaming algorithms for maintaining extent measures of a stream S of n points in Rd . We focus on designing streaming algorithms whose working space is p...

CSP gaps and reductions in the lasserre hierarchy
We study integrality gaps for SDP relaxations of constraint satisfaction problems, in the hierarchy of SDPs defined by Lasserre. Schoenebeck [25] recently showed the first integra...

Boosted sampling: approximation algorithms for stochastic optimization
Several combinatorial optimization problems choose elements to minimize the total cost of constructing a feasible solution that satisfies requirements of clients. In the STEINER T...

Improved Approximation for the Directed Spanner Problem
We present an O( √ n log n)-approximation algorithm for the problem of finding the sparsest spanner of a given directed graph G on n vertices. A spanner of a graph is a sparse ...

Thresholded Covering Algorithms for Robust and Max-min Optimization
The general problem of robust optimization is this: one of several possible scenarios will appear tomorrow, but things are more expensive tomorrow than they are today. What should...
