Given a graph G and a spanning tree T of G, we say that T is a tree t-spanner of G if the distance between every pair of vertices in T is at most t times their distance in G. The p...
We consider the problem of picking (buying) an inexpensive s-t path in a graph where edges are owned by independent (selfish) agents, and the cost of an edge is known to its owner...
We consider server scheduling strategies to minimize average flow time in a multicast pull system where data items have uniform size. The algorithm Longest Wait First (LWF) always...
We define a deterministic metric of "well-behaved data" that enables searching along the lines of interpolation search. Specifically, define to be the ratio of distance...
We introduce a new data structuring paradigm in which operations can be performed on a data structure not only in the present but also in the past. In this new paradigm, called ret...
We solve an open problem posed by Eppstein in 1995 [14, 15] and re-enforced by Grohe [16, 17] concerning locally bounded treewidth in minor-closed families of graphs. A graph has ...
Asian options are path-dependent derivatives. How to price them efficiently and accurately has been a longstanding research and practical problem. Asian options can be priced on t...
