We prove an (lg n) cell-probe lower bound on maintaining connectivity in dynamic graphs, as well as a more general trade-off between updates and queries. Our bound holds even if t...
Abstract. In recent years we have seen an increasing interest in combining constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) formulations and linear programming (LP) based techniques for solvi...
We present approximation and online algorithms for a number of problems of pricing items for sale so as to maximize seller’s revenue in an unlimited supply setting. Our first r...
We present a near-optimal reduction from approximately counting the cardinality of a discrete set to approximately sampling elements of the set. An important application of our wo...
