Lower bounds for graph embeddings and combinatorial preconditioners
Given a general graph G, a fundamental problem is to find a spanning tree H that best approximates G by some measure. Often this measure is some combination of the congestion and...

Probabilistic models for biological sequences: selection and Maximum Likelihood estimation
: Probabilistic models for biological sequences (DNA and proteins) are frequently used in bioinformatics. We describe statistical tests designed to detect the order of dependency a...

Lower Bounds for Testing Function Isomorphism
—We prove new lower bounds in the area of property testing of boolean functions. Specifically, we study the problem of testing whether a boolean function f is isomorphic to a ...

Tight information-theoretic lower bounds for welfare maximization in combinatorial auctions
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...
