MB-DPOP: A New Memory-Bounded Algorithm for Distributed Optimization
In distributed combinatorial optimization problems, dynamic programming algorithms like DPOP ([Petcu and Faltings, 2005]) require only a linear number of messages, thus generating...

Lower bounds for designs in symmetric spaces
A design is a finite set of points in a space on which every "simple" functions averages to its global mean. Illustrative examples of simple functions are low-degree pol...

Derandomizing the Ahlswede-Winter matrix-valued Chernoff bound using pessimistic estimators, and applications
: Ahlswede and Winter [IEEE Trans. Inf. Th. 2002] introduced a Chernoff bound for matrix-valued random variables, which is a non-trivial generalization of the usual Chernoff bound ...

Automated Generation of Search Tree Algorithms for Hard Graph Modification Problems
We present a framework for an automated generation of exact search tree algorithms for NP-hard problems. The purpose of our approach is two-fold--rapid development and improved up...

Minimum Bounded Degree Spanning Trees
We consider the minimum cost spanning tree problem under the restriction that all degrees must be at most a given value k. We show that we can efficiently find a spanning tree o...
