Near-Optimal Sublinear Time Algorithms for Ulam Distance
We give near-tight bounds for estimating the edit distance between two non-repetitive strings (Ulam distance) with constant approximation, in sub-linear time. For two strings of l...

First order LUB approximations: characterization and algorithms
One of the major approaches to approximation of logical theories is the upper and lower bounds approach introduced in (Selman and Kautz, 1991, 1996). In this paper, we address the...

Approximate Min-Max Theorems of Steiner Rooted-Orientations of Hypergraphs
Given an undirected hypergraph and a subset of vertices S ⊆ V with a specified root vertex r ∈ S, the STEINER ROOTED-ORIENTATION problem is to find an orientation of all the...

On-Line Approximate String Matching with Bounded Errors
We introduce a new dimension to the widely studied on-line approximate string matching problem, by introducing an error threshold parameter so that the algorithm is allowed to mis...

Improved Approximation Bounds for Planar Point Pattern Matching
We analyze the performance of simple algorithms for matching two planar point sets under rigid transformations so as to minimize the directed Hausdorff distance between the sets....
