The Power of Preemption on Unrelated Machines and Applications to Scheduling Orders
Abstract. Scheduling jobs on unrelated parallel machines so as to minimize the makespan is one of the basic, well-studied problems in the area of machine scheduling. In the first ...

A Class of stochastic programs with decision dependent uncertainty
We address a class of problems where decisions have to be optimized over a time horizon given that the future is uncertain and that the optimization decisions influence the time o...

Why neighbor-joining works
We show that the neighbor-joining algorithm is a robust quartet method for constructing trees from distances. This leads to a new performance guarantee that contains Atteson's...

Topological Equivalence between a 3D Object and the Reconstruction of Its Digital Image
— Digitization is not as easy as it looks. If one digitizes a 3D object even with a dense sampling grid, the reconstructed digital object may have topological distortions and in ...

Wait-free consensus with infinite arrivals
A randomized algorithm is given that solves the wait-free consensus problem for a shared-memory model with infinitely many processes. The algorithm is based on a weak shared coin ...
