For a rectilinear Steiner tree T with a root, define its k-th moment Mk(T) = T (dT (u))k du, where the integration is over all edges of T, dT (u) is the length of the unique path ...
We give several new upper and lower bounds on the worst-case severity of Braess's Paradox and the price of anarchy of selfish routing with respect to the maximum latency obje...
We close the gaps between known lower and upper bounds for the online partial-sums problem in the RAM and group models of computation. If elements are chosen from an abstract grou...
We give a forbidden substructure characterization of set families that have the consecutive-ones property, and a linear time algorithm to find the forbidden substructure if a set ...
We study the mixing time of the Glauber dynamics for general spin systems on bounded-degree trees, including the Ising model, the hard-core model (independent sets) and the antife...
Motivated by the need for maintaining multiple, large queues of data in modern high-performance systems, we study the problem of caching queues in memory under the following simpl...
