An Optimal Randomised Cell Probe Lower Bound for Approximate Nearest Neighbour Searching
We consider the approximate nearest neighbour search problem on the Hamming cube {0, 1}d. We show that a randomised cell probe algorithm that uses polynomial storage and word size...

Approximation Schemes for Steiner Forest on Planar Graphs and Graphs of Bounded Treewidth
We give the first polynomial-time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the Steiner forest problem on planar graphs and, more generally, on graphs of bounded genus. As a first step, w...

TROP: A Novel Approximate Link-State Dissemination Framework For Dynamic Survivable Routing in MPLS Networks
In this paper, a novel approximate link-state dissemination framework, called TROP, is proposed for shared backup path protection (SBPP) in Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) ne...

Buy-at-Bulk Network Design with Protection
We consider approximation algorithms for buy-at-bulk network design, with the additional constraint that demand pairs be protected against edge or node failures in the network. In...

Combinatorial Problems on Strings with Applications to Protein Folding
We consider the problem of protein folding in the HP model on the 3D square lattice. This problem is combinatorially equivalent to folding a string of 0’s and 1’s so that the s...
