Abstract. We propose a simple, general, randomized technique to reduce certain geometric optimization problems to their corresponding decision problems. These reductions increase t...
Regular expression pattern matching is widely used in computational biology. Searching through a database of sequences for a motif (a simple regular expression), or its variations...
We present a new approach for designing external graph algorithms and use it to design simple, deterministic and randomized external algorithms for computing connected components, ...

Persons may perform an activity in many different styles, or noise may cause an identical activity to have different temporal structures. We present a robust methodology for recog...
In this paper, we analyze the problem of network disconnection in the context of large-scale P2P networks and understand how both static and dynamic patterns of node failure affec...
