Improved Combinatorial Group Testing for Real-World Problem Sizes
We study practically efficient methods for performing combinatorial group testing. We present efficient non-adaptive and two-stage combinatorial group testing algorithms, which i...

On Geometric Dilation and Halving Chords
Let G be an embedded planar graph whose edges may be curves. The detour between two points, p and q (on edges or vertices) of G, is the ratio between the shortest path in G between...

Hinged Dissection of Polypolyhedra
This paper presents a general family of 3D hinged dissections for polypolyhedra, i.e., connected 3D solids formed by joining several rigid copies of the same polyhedron along iden...

k-Link Shortest Paths in Weighted Subdivisions
We study the shortest path problem in weighted polygonal subdivisions of the plane, with the additional constraint of an upper bound, k, on the number of links (segments) in the pa...

Subquadratic Algorithms for 3SUM
We obtain subquadratic algorithms for 3SUM on integers and rationals in several models. On a standard word RAM with w-bit words, we obtain a running time of O(n2 / max{ w lg2 w , ...

The Minimum-Area Spanning Tree Problem
Motivated by optimization problems in sensor coverage, we formulate and study the Minimum-Area Spanning Tree (mast) problem: Given a set P of n points in the plane, find a spannin...

Heap Building Bounds
We consider the lower bound for building a heap in the worst case and the upper bound in the average case. We will prove that the supposedly fastest algorithm in the average case[2...

Linear Time Algorithms for Generalized Edge Dominating Set Problems
Abstract. In this paper we consider a generalization of the edge dominating set (EDS) problem, in which each edge e needs to be covered be times and refer to this as the b-EDS prob...
