Optimal Resource Augmentations for Online Knapsack
It is known that online knapsack is not competitive. This negative result remains true even if the items are removable. In this paper we consider online removable knapsack with

Worst-Case to Average-Case Reductions Revisited
Abstract. A fundamental goal of computational complexity (and foundations of cryptography) is to find a polynomial-time samplable distribution (e.g., the uniform distribution) and...

Better Binary List-Decodable Codes Via Multilevel Concatenation
We give a polynomial time construction of binary codes with the best currently known trade-off between rate and error-correction radius. Specifically, we obtain linear codes ove...

Eigenvectors of Random Graphs: Nodal Domains
We initiate a systematic study of eigenvectors of random graphs. Whereas much is known about eigenvalues of graphs and how they reflect properties of the underlying graph, relati...

Sublinear Algorithms for Approximating String Compressibility
We raise the question of approximating the compressibility of a string with respect to a fixed compression scheme, in sublinear time. We study this question in detail for two popu...

Improved Approximation Algorithms for the Spanning Star Forest Problem
A star graph is a tree of diameter at most two. A star forest is a graph that consists of node-disjoint star graphs. In the spanning star forest problem, given an unweighted graph ...
