We continue the recent line of work on the connection between semidefinite programming-based approximation algorithms and the Unique Games Conjecture. Given any boolean 2-CSP (or...
Many network applications that need to distribute content and data to a large number of clients use a hybrid scheme in which one (or more) multicast channel is used in parallel to...
Suppose we are given a set of objects that cover a region and a duration associated with each object. Viewing the objects as jobs, can we schedule their beginning times to maximiz...

In many important problems, one uses the median instead of the mean to estimate a population's center, since the former is more robust. But in general, computing the median i...
Abstract Lattice reduction is a hard problem of interest to both publickey cryptography and cryptanalysis. Despite its importance, extremely few algorithms are known. The best algo...
