Almost all graphs with average degree 4 are 3-colorable
We analyze a randomized version of the Brelaz heuristic on sparse random graphs. We prove that almost all graphs with average degree dp4:03; i.e., G?n; p ? d=n?; are 3-colorable a...

Quantum lower bound for the collision problem
The collision problem is to decide whether a function X : {1, . . . , n} {1, . . . , n} is one-to-one or two-to-one, given that one of these is the case. We show a lower bound of...

Approximation schemes for clustering problems
We present a general approach for designing approximation algorithms for a fundamental class of geometric clustering problems in arbitrary dimensions. More specifically, our appro...

Space efficient dynamic stabbing with fast queries
In dynamic stabbing, we operate on a dynamic set of intervals. A stabbing query asks for an interval containing a given point. This basic problem encodes problems such as method l...

Optimal probabilistic fingerprint codes
We construct binary codes for fingerprinting. Our codes for n users that are -secure against c pirates have length O(c2 log(n/ )). This improves the codes proposed by Boneh and Sh...

Uniform hashing in constant time and linear space
Many algorithms and data structures employing hashing have been analyzed under the uniform hashing assumption, i.e., the assumption that hash functions behave like truly random fu...

New degree bounds for polynomial threshold functions
A real multivariate polynomial p(x1, . . . , xn) is said to sign-represent a Boolean function f : {0, 1}n {-1, 1} if the sign of p(x) equals f(x) for all inputs x {0, 1}n. We gi...
