A tight bound on approximating arbitrary metrics by tree metrics
In this paper, we show that any n point metric space can be embedded into a distribution over dominating tree metrics such that the expected stretch of any edge is O(log n). This ...

Nearly Tight Bounds for Testing Function Isomorphism
We study the problem of testing isomorphism (equivalence up to relabelling of the variables) of two Boolean functions f, g : {0, 1}n → {0, 1}. Our main focus is on the most stud...

Randomized computations on large data sets: tight lower bounds
We study the randomized version of a computation model (introduced in [9, 10]) that restricts random access to external memory and internal memory space. Essentially, this model c...

Tight information-theoretic lower bounds for welfare maximization in combinatorial auctions
We provide tight information-theoretic lower bounds for the welfare maximization problem in combinatorial auctions. In this problem, the goal is to partition m items among k bidde...

Tight Bounds for Point Recolouring
In their paper on delineating boundaries from geographic data, Reinbacher et al. [9] use a recolouring method to reclassify points so that the boundaries that separate points of d...
