We consider FIFO buffer management for switches providing differentiated services. In each time step, an arbitrary number of packets arrive, and only one packet can be sent. The bu...
We provide tight information-theoretic lower bounds for the welfare maximization problem in combinatorial auctions. In this problem, the goal is to partition m items among k bidde...

We introduce a new technique for proving kernelization lower bounds, called cross-composition. A classical problem L cross-composes into a parameterized problem Q if an instance o...

Abstract. We study the succinctness of the complement and intersection of regular expressions. In particular, we show that when constructing a regular expression defining the compl...
Given a database of n points in {0, 1}d, the partial match problem is: In response to a query x in {0, 1, }d, find a database point y such that for every i whenever xi = , we have...
