An Optimal Competitive Strategy for Walking in Streets
We present an optimal strategy for searching for a goal in a street which achieves the competitive factor of √ 2, thus matching the best lower bound known before. This finally ...

Optimal Rectangle Packing: New Results
We present new results on the problem of finding an enclosing rectangle of minimum area that will contain a given a set of rectangles. Many simple scheduling tasks can be modelled...

Communication complexity of common voting rules
We determine the communication complexity of the common voting rules. The rules (sorted by their communication complexity from low to high) are plurality, plurality with runoff, ...

Optimal Randomized Algorithms for Local Sorting and Set-Maxima
We present randomized algorithms for two sorting problems. In the local sorting problem, a graph is given in which each vertex is assigned an element of a total order, and the task...
