Approximate Covering Detection among Content-Based Subscriptions Using Space Filling Curves
We consider a problem that arises during the propagation of subscriptions in a contentbased publish-subscribe system. Subscription covering is a promising optimization that reduce...

Analysis of Approximation Algorithms for k-Set Cover Using Factor-Revealing Linear Programs
We present new combinatorial approximation algorithms for k-set cover. Previous approaches are based on extending the greedy algorithm by efficiently handling small sets. The new a...

A Geometric Approach to Lower Bounds for Approximate Near-Neighbor Search and Partial Match
This work investigates a geometric approach to proving cell probe lower bounds for data structure problems. We consider the approximate nearest neighbor search problem on the Bool...

Distributed algorithms for covering, packing and maximum weighted matching
Abstract This paper gives poly-logarithmic-round, distributed δ-approximation algorithms for covering problems with submodular cost and monotone covering constraints (Submodular-c...
