Improved Rounding for Parallel Repeated Unique Games
We show a tight relation between the behavior of unique games under parallel repetition and their semidefinite value. Let G be a unique game with alphabet size k. Suppose the semid...

Why Large Closest String Instances Are Easy to Solve in Practice
We initiate the study of the smoothed complexity of the Closest String problem by proposing a semi-random model of Hamming distance. We restrict interest to the optimization versio...

On Minimizing the Sum of Sensor Movements for Barrier Coverage of a Line Segment
A set of sensors establishes barrier coverage of a given line segment if every point of the segment is within the sensing range of a sensor. Given a line segment I, n mobile sensor...

Finding Cycles and Trees in Sublinear Time
We present sublinear-time (randomized) algorithms for finding simple cycles of length at least k 3 and tree-minors in bounded-degree graphs. The complexity of these algorithms is...

Online scheduling of weighted equal-length jobs with hard deadlines on parallel machines
We consider the problem of scheduling a maximum profit selection of equal length jobs on m identical machines. Jobs arrive online over time and the goal is to determine a non-pre...
