We study the complexity of the popular one player combinatorial game known as Flood-It. In this game the player is given an n×n board of tiles where each tile is allocated one of ...
Query optimization is an integral part of relational database management systems. One important task in query optimization is selectivity estimation, that is, given a query P, we ...
Abstract. We study two-stage robust variants of combinatorial optimization problems like Steiner tree, Steiner forest, and uncapacitated facility location. The robust optimization ...

Abstract: Schnorr's algorithm for finding an approximation for the shortest nonzero vector in an n-dimensional lattice depends on a parameter k. He proved that for a fixed k ...
