Why Large Closest String Instances Are Easy to Solve in Practice
We initiate the study of the smoothed complexity of the Closest String problem by proposing a semi-random model of Hamming distance. We restrict interest to the optimization versio...

Approximation and Complexity of k-Splittable Flows
Given a graph with a source and a sink node, the NP–hard maximum k–splittable flow (MkSF) problem is to find a flow of maximum value with a flow decomposition using at most...

The Power of Uncertainty: Bundle-Pricing for Unit-Demand Customers
We study an extension of the unit-demand pricing problem in which the seller may offer bundles of items. If a customer buys such a bundle she is guaranteed to get one item out of i...

Optimal lower bounds for the Korkine-Zolotareff parameters of a lattice and for Schnorr's algorithm for the shortest vector prob
Abstract: Schnorr's algorithm for finding an approximation for the shortest nonzero vector in an n-dimensional lattice depends on a parameter k. He proved that for a fixed k ...

Diagnosing Link-Level Anomalies Using Passive Probes
Abstract—In this paper, we develop passive network tomography techniques for inferring link-level anomalies like excessive loss rates and delay from path-level measurements. Our ...
