A major cost in executing queries in a distributed database system is the data transfer cost incurred in transferring relations (fragments) accessed by a query from different sites...
The Chow parameters of a Boolean function f : {−1, 1}n → {−1, 1} are its n + 1 degree-0 and degree-1 Fourier coefficients. It has been known since 1961 [Cho61, Tan61] that ...

We design efficient competitive algorithms for discovering hidden information using few queries. Specifically, consider a game in a given set of intervals (and their implied inte...
Abstract— Thorup and Zwick, in their seminal work, introduced the approximate distance oracle, which is a data structure that answers distance queries in a graph. For any integer...
We consider the problem of finding a shortest cycle (freely) homotopic to a given simple cycle on a compact, orientable surface. For this purpose, we use a pants decomposition of...
