Ranged hash functions and the price of churn
Ranged hash functions generalize hash tables to the setting where hash buckets may come and go over time, a typical case in distributed settings where hash buckets may correspond ...

Recognizing string graphs in NP
A string graph is the intersection graph of a set of curves in the plane. Each curve is represented by a vertex, and an edge between two vertices means that the corresponding curv...

Generalization of Binary Search: Searching in Trees and Forest-Like Partial Orders
We extend the binary search technique to searching in trees. We consider two models of queries: questions about vertices and questions about edges. We present a general approach t...

Approximation Algorithms for Non-Uniform Buy-at-Bulk Network Design
We consider approximation algorithms for non-uniform buy-at-bulk network design problems. The first nontrivial approximation algorithm for this problem is due to Charikar and Kar...

Efficient simplex computation for fixture layout design
Designing a fixture layout of an object can be reduced to computing the largest simplex and the resulting simplex is classified using the radius of the largest inscribed ball cent...
