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...

Testing Triangle-Freeness in General Graphs
In this paper we consider the problem of testing whether a graph is triangle-free, and more generally, whether it is H-free, for a fixed subgraph H. The algorithm should accept gr...

Planarity Allowing Few Error Vertices in Linear Time
— We show that for every fixed k, there is a linear time algorithm that decides whether or not a given graph has a vertex set X of order at most k such that G − X is planar (w...

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 adaptive linearity tests
Linearity tests are randomized algorithms which have oracle access to the truth table of some function f, and are supposed to distinguish between linear functions and functions whi...
