On the Hardness and Smoothed Complexity of Quasi-Concave Minimization
In this paper, we resolve the smoothed and approximative complexity of low-rank quasi-concave minimization, providing both upper and lower bounds. As an upper bound, we provide th...

A Primal-Dual Randomized Algorithm for Weighted Paging
In the weighted paging problem there is a weight (cost) for fetching each page into the cache. We design a randomized O(log k)-competitive online algorithm for the weighted paging...
