Comparing top k lists
Motivated by several applications, we introduce various distance measures between “top k lists.” Some of these distance measures are metrics, while others are not. For each of...

Fast distributed algorithms for (weakly) connected dominating sets and linear-size skeletons
Motivated by routing issues in ad hoc networks, we present polylogarithmic-time distributed algorithms for two problems. Given a network, we first show how to compute connected a...

Certifying and repairing solutions to large LPs how good are LP-solvers?
State-of-the-art linear programming (LP) solvers give solutions without any warranty. Solutions are not guaranteed to be optimal or even close to optimal. Of course, it is general...

Perturbations and vertex removal in a 3D delaunay triangulation
Though Delaunay triangulations are very well known geometric data structures, the problem of the robust removal of a vertex in a three-dimensional Delaunay triangulation is still ...

Quantum algorithms for some hidden shift problems
Almost all of the most successful quantum algorithms discovered to date exploit the ability of the Fourier transform to recover subgroup structure of functions, especially periodi...

Random walks on the vertices of transportation polytopes with constant number of sources
We consider the problem of uniformly sampling a vertex of a transportation polytope with m sources and n destinations, where m is a constant. We analyse a natural random walk on t...

Random MAX SAT, random MAX CUT, and their phase transitions
With random inputs, certain decision problems undergo a “phase transition”. We prove similar behavior in an optimization context. Given a conjunctive normal form (CNF) formula...

Graded conforming Delaunay tetrahedralization with bounded radius-edge ratio
We propose an algorithm to compute a conforming Delaunay mesh of a polyhedral domain in three dimensions. Arbitrarily small input angles are allowed. The output mesh is graded and...
