Stochastic Steiner Tree with Non-uniform Inflation
We study the Steiner Tree problem in the model of two-stage stochastic optimization with non-uniform inflation factors, and give a poly-logarithmic approximation factor for this pr...

Fast Convolutions and Their Applications in Approximate String Matching
We develop a method for performing boolean convolutions efficiently in word RAM model of computation, having a word size of w = Ω(log n) bits, where n is the input size. The tech...
