We relate the sequence of minimum bases of a matroid with linearly varying weights to three problems from combinatorial geometry: k-sets, lower envelopes of line segments, and con...
We introduce two incomplete polynomial time algorithms to solve satisfiability problems which both use Linear Programming (LP) techniques. First, the FlipFlop LP attempts to simul...
We study the classic problem of estimating the sum of n variables. The traditional uniform sampling approach requires a linear number of samples to provide any non-trivial guarante...
Abstract. This paper is devoted to an online variant of the minimum spanning tree problem in randomly weighted graphs. We assume that the input graph is complete and the edge weigh...
