On the geometry of graphs with a forbidden minor
We study the topological simplification of graphs via random embeddings, leading ultimately to a reduction of the Gupta-Newman-Rabinovich-Sinclair (GNRS) L1 embedding conjecture t...

A Truthful Randomized Mechanism for Combinatorial Public Projects via Convex Optimization
In Combinatorial Public Projects, there is a set of projects that may be undertaken, and a set of selfinterested players with a stake in the set of projects chosen. A public plann...

Hardness of Approximating the Shortest Vector Problem in Lattices
Let p > 1 be any fixed real. We show that assuming NP RP, there is no polynomial time algorithm that approximates the Shortest Vector Problem (SVP) in p norm within a constant ...

Faster and Simpler Algorithms for Multicommodity Flow and Other Fractional Packing Problems
This paper considers the problem of designing fast, approximate, combinatorial algorithms for multicommodity flows and other fractional packing problems. We provide a different ap...

Minimizing Stall Time in Single and Parallel Disk Systems Using Multicommodity Network Flows
We study integrated prefetching and caching in single and parallel disk systems. A recent approach used linear programming to solve the problem. We show that integrated prefetching...
