Internet packet filter management and rectangle geometry
We consider rule sets for internet packet routing and filtering, where each rule consists of a range of source addresses, a range of destination addresses, a priority, and an acti...

Improved algorithms for 3-coloring, 3-edge-coloring, and constraint satisfaction
We consider worst case time bounds for NP-complete problems including 3-SAT, 3-coloring, 3-edge-coloring, and 3list-coloring. Our algorithms are based on a constraint satisfaction...

Parallel processor scheduling with delay constraints
We consider the problem of scheduling unit-length jobs on identical parallel machines such that the makespan of the resulting schedule is minimized. Precedence constraints impose ...

Pattern matching for sets of segments
In this paper we present algorithms for a number of problems in geometric pattern matching where the input consist of a collections of segments in the plane. Our work consists of ...

Approximation algorithms for TSP with neighborhoods in the plane
In the Euclidean TSP with neighborhoods (TSPN), we are given a collection of n regions (neighborhoods) and we seek a shortest tour that visits each region. As a generalization of ...

On universally easy classes for NP-complete problems
We explore the natural question of whether all NP-complete problems have a common restriction under which they are polynomially solvable. More precisely, we study what languages a...

A linear lower bound on index size for text retrieval
Most information-retrieval systems preprocess the data to produce an auxiliary index structure. Empirically, it has been observed that there is a tradeoff between query response t...

Better approximation algorithms for bin covering
Bin covering takes as input a list of items with sizes in (0 1) and places them into bins of unit demand so as to maximize the number of bins whose demand is satis ed. This is in ...
