A Sequential Decoder for Linear Block Codes with a Variable Bias-Term Metric
—A sequential decoder for linear block codes that performs maximum-likelihood soft-decision decoding is described. The decoder uses a metric computed from a lower bound on the co...

Reordering buffers for general metric spaces
In the reordering buffer problem, we are given an input sequence of requests for service each of which corresponds to a point in a metric space. The cost of serving the requests h...

On Pure and (approximate) Strong Equilibria of Facility Location Games
We study social cost losses in Facility Location games, where n selfish agents install facilities over a network and connect to them, so as to forward their local demand (expressed...

Clustering for metric and nonmetric distance measures
We study a generalization of the k-median problem with respect to an arbitrary dissimilarity measure D. Given a finite set P of size n, our goal is to find a set C of size k such t...

Plane embeddings of planar graph metrics
Embedding metrics into constant-dimensional geometric spaces, such as the Euclidean plane, is relatively poorly understood. Motivated by applications in visualization, ad-hoc netw...
