Quantum Search of Spatial Regions
: Can Grover’s algorithm speed up search of a physical region—for example a 2-D grid of size √ n × √ n? The problem is that √ n time seems to be needed for each query, j...

Lattices with Many Cycles Are Dense
Abstract We give a method for approximating any n-dimensional lattice with a lattice Λ whose factor group Zn /Λ has n − 1 cycles of equal length with arbitrary precision. We al...

Topology Matters: Smoothed Competitiveness of Metrical Task Systems
We consider metrical task systems, a general framework to model online problems. Borodin, Linial and Saks [BLS92] presented a deterministic work function algorithm (WFA) for metric...

A Lower Bound on the Competitive Ratio of Truthful Auctions
We study a class of single-round, sealed-bid auctions for a set of identical items. We adopt the worst case competitive framework defined by [1,2] that compares the profit of an ...

On Minimum Circular Arrangement
Motivated by a scheduling problem encountered in multicast environments, we study a vertex labelling problem, called Directed Circular Arrangement (DCA), that requires one to fin...

Digraphs Exploration with Little Memory
Under the robot model, we show that a robot needs Ω(n log d) bits of memory to perform exploration of digraphs with n nodes and maximum out-degree d. We then describe an algorith...
