We study interval coloring problems and present new upper and lower bounds for several variants. We are interested in four problems, online coloring of intervals with and without b...
Let B be a set of n arbitrary possibly intersecting convex obstacles in Rd. It is shown that any two points which can be connected by a path avoiding the obstacles can also be c...
Abstract. Inapproximability results concerning minimization of nondeterministic finite automata relative to given deterministic finite automata were obtained only recently, modul...
We give near-tight bounds for estimating the edit distance between two non-repetitive strings (Ulam distance) with constant approximation, in sub-linear time. For two strings of l...
We prove two main results on how arbitrary linear threshold functions f(x) = sign(w · x − θ) over the n-dimensional Boolean hypercube can be approximated by simple threshold f...
