One of the strongest techniques available for showing lower bounds on quantum communication complexity is the logarithm of the approximation rank of the communication matrix— th...
We give the first constant factor approximation algorithm for the asymmetric Virtual Private Network (Vpn) problem with arbitrary concave costs. We even show the stronger result, ...
The maximum intersection problem for a matroid and a greedoid, given by polynomialtime oracles, is shown NP-hard by expressing the satisfiability of boolean formulas in 3-conjunct...
Suppose you ran a chess tournament, everybody played everybody, and you wanted to use the results to rank everybody. Unless you were really lucky, the results would not be acyclic...
Abstract. We consider the problem of maintaining polynomial and exponential decay aggregates of a data stream, where the weight of values seen from the stream diminishes as time el...
