The central observation of this paper is that if ǫn random arcs are added to any n-node strongly connected digraph with bounded degree then the resulting graph has diameter O(ln ...

We consider the problem of fitting metric data on n points to a path (line) metric. Our objective is to minimize the total additive distortion of this mapping. The total additive ...

While it is exponentially unlikely that a sparse random graph or hypergraph is connected, with probability 1 − o(1) such a graph has a “giant component” that, given its numbe...

A simple first moment argument shows that in a randomly chosen k-SAT formula with m clauses over n boolean variables, the fraction of satisfiable clauses is 1−2−k +o(1) as m/...

We study a variant of the maximum coverage problem which we label the maximum coverage problem with group budget constraints (MCG). We are given a collection of sets S = {S1, S2, ....

We present a polynomial time 3/4-approximation algorithm for the maximum asymmetric TSP with weights zero and one. As applications, we get a 5/4-approximation algorithm for the (mi...

Given an undirected n-node graph and a set C of m cuts, the minimum crossing tree is a spanning tree which minimizes the maximum crossing of any cut in C, where the crossing of a c...
