Counting Inversions, Offline Orthogonal Range Counting, and Related Problems
We give an O(n lg n)-time algorithm for counting the number of inversions in a permutation on n elements. This improves a long-standing previous bound of O(n lg n/ lg lg n) that ...

Tight Bounds for String Reconstruction Using Substring Queries
We resolve two open problems presented in [8]. First, we consider the problem of reconstructing an unknown string T over a fixed alphabet using queries of the form “does the st...

The Kesten-Stigum Reconstruction Bound Is Tight for Roughly Symmetric Binary Channels
We establish the exact threshold for the reconstruction problem for a binary asymmetric channel on the b-ary tree, provided that the asymmetry is sufficiently small. This is the ...

Kernelization of packing problems
Kernelization algorithms are polynomial-time reductions from a problem to itself that guarantee their output to have a size not exceeding some bound. For example, d-Set Matching f...

Searching for Tight Performance Bounds in Feed-Forward Networks
Abstract. Computing tight performance bounds in feed-forward networks under general assumptions about arrival and server models has turned out to be a challenging problem. Recently...
