Approximate counting by dynamic programming
We give efficient algorithms to sample uniformly, and count approximately, the solutions to a zero-one knapsack problem. The algorithm is based on using dynamic programming to pro...

Improved decremental algorithms for maintaining transitive closure and all-pairs shortest paths
We present improved algorithms for maintaining transitive closure and all-pairs shortest paths/distances in a digraph under deletion of edges. For the problem of transitive closur...

On strip packing With rotations
We present an asymptotic fully polynomial time approximation scheme for two-dimensional strip packing with rotations. In this problem, a set of rectangles need to be packed into a...

Approximate clustering via core-sets
In this paper, we show that for several clustering problems one can extract a small set of points, so that using those core-sets enable us to perform approximate clustering effici...
