Reasoning about online algorithms with weighted automata
We describe an automata-theoretic approach for the competitive analysis of online algorithms. Our approach is based on weighted automata, which assign to each input word a cost in...

Finding shortest contractible and shortest separating cycles in embedded graphs
We give a polynomial-time algorithm to find a shortest contractible cycle (i.e. a closed walk without repeated vertices) in a graph embedded in a surface. This answers a question ...

Facility location with hierarchical facility costs
We introduce a facility location problem with submodular facility cost functions, and give an O(log n) approximation algorithm for it. Then we focus on a special case of submodula...

Comparison-based time-space lower bounds for selection
We establish the first nontrivial lower bounds on timespace tradeoffs for the selection problem. We prove that any comparison-based randomized algorithm for finding the median ...

Lower-bounded facility location
We study the lower-bounded facility location problem, which generalizes the classical uncapacitated facility location problem in that it comes with lower bound constraints for the...
