Abstract. We present a new analysis of the well-known family of multiplicative hash functions, and improved deterministic algorithms for selecting "good" hash functions. ...
Ordering a set of items so as to minimize the sum of distances between consecutive elements is a fundamental optimization problem occurring in many settings. While it is NP-hard i...
We consider the problem of minimizing the total weighted completion time on identical parallel machines when jobs have stochastic processing times and may arrive over time. We give...
We study the identity testing problem for depth 3 arithmetic circuits ( circuit). We give the first deterministic polynomial time identity test for circuits with bounded top fanin...
In this paper we give approximation algorithms for several proximity problems in high dimensional spaces. In particular, we give the rst Las Vegas data structure for (1 + )-neares...
