A Constant-Factor Approximation Algorithm for the Multicommodity
We present the first constant-factor approximation algorithm for network design with multiple commodities and economies of scale. We consider the rent-or-buy problem, a type of m...

A modular approach to shared-memory consensus, with applications to the probabilistic-write model
We define two new classes of shared-memory objects: ratifiers, which detect agreement, and conciliators, which ensure agreement with some probability. We show that consensus can...

On the Query Complexity of Testing Orientations for Being Eulerian
We consider testing directed graphs for being Eulerian in the orientation model introduced in [15]. Despite the local nature of the property of being Eulerian, it turns out to be ...
