Submodular Approximation: Sampling-based Algorithms and Lower Bounds
We introduce several generalizations of classical computer science problems obtained by replacing simpler objective functions with general submodular functions. The new problems i...

Lower bounds for approximate polygon decomposition and minimum gap
We consider the problem of decomposing polygons (with holes) into various types of simpler polygons. We focus on the problem of partitioning a rectilinear polygon, with holes, int...

Lower Bounds on Streaming Algorithms for Approximating the Length of the Longest Increasing Subsequence
We show that any deterministic data-stream algorithm that makes a constant number of passes over the input and gives a constant factor approximation of the length of the longest i...

On Dynamic Bin Packing: An Improved Lower Bound and Resource Augmentation Analysis
We study the dynamic bin packing problem introduced by Coffman, Garey and Johnson. This problem is a generalization of the bin packing problem in which items may arrive and depart...

Lower Bounds for Additive Spanners, Emulators, and More
An additive spanner of an unweighted undirected graph G with distortion d is a subgraph H such that for any two vertices u, v ∈ G, we have δH(u, v) ≤ δG(u, v) + d. For every...
