Parallel monotonicity reconstruction
We investigate the problem of monotonicity reconstruction, as defined in [3], in a parallel setting. We have oracle access to a nonnegative real-valued function f defined on domai...

A tight lower bound for parity in noisy communication networks
We show a tight lower bound of (N log log N) on the number of transmission required to compute the parity of N bits (with constant error) in a network of N randomly placed sensors...

Two-phase greedy algorithms for some classes of combinatorial linear programs
We present greedy algorithms for some classes of combinatorial packing and cover problems within the general formal framework of Hoffman and Schwartz' lattice polyhedra. Our ...

Strongly polynomial and fully combinatorial algorithms for bisubmodular function minimization
Bisubmodular functions are a natural "directed", or "signed", extension of submodular functions with several applications. Recently Fujishige and Iwata showed ...

Clustering for metric and non-metric distance measures
We study a generalization of the k-median problem with respect to an arbitrary dissimilarity measure D. Given a finite set P, our goal is to find a set C of size k such that the s...

Better bounds for online load balancing on unrelated machines
We study the problem of scheduling permanent jobs on unrelated machines when the objective is to minimize the Lp norm of the machine loads. The problem is known as load balancing ...

Provably good multicore cache performance for divide-and-conquer algorithms
This paper presents a multicore-cache model that reflects the reality that multicore processors have both per-processor private (L1) caches and a large shared (L2) cache on chip. ...
