On the Performance of Approximate Equilibria in Congestion Games
We study the performance of approximate Nash equilibria for congestion games with polynomial latency functions. We consider how much the price of anarchy worsens and how much the ...

On Inducing Polygons and Related Problems
Bose et al. [2] asked whether for every simple arrangement A of n lines in the plane there exists a simple n-gon P that induces A by extending every edge of P into a line. We prov...

Disproof of the Neighborhood Conjecture with Implications to SAT
We study a special class of binary trees. Our results have implications on Maker/Breaker games and SAT: We disprove a conjecture of Beck on positional games and construct an unsati...

Rank-Pairing Heaps
Abstract. We introduce the rank-pairing heap, a heap (priority queue) implementation that combines the asymptotic efficiency of Fibonacci heaps with much of the simplicity of pair...

Storing a Compressed Function with Constant Time Access
We consider the problem of representing, in a space-efficient way, a function f : S → Σ such that any function value can be computed in constant time on a RAM. Specifically, ou...

Cauchy's Theorem for Orthogonal Polyhedra of Genus 0
A famous theorem by Cauchy states that a convex polyhedron is determined by its incidence structure and face-polygons alone. In this paper, we prove the same for orthogonal polyhe...

Fast Evaluation of Interlace Polynomials on Graphs of Bounded Treewidth
Abstract. We consider the multivariate interlace polynomial introduced by Courcelle (2008), which generalizes several interlace polynomials defined by Arratia, Bollob´as, and Sor...

Shape Fitting on Point Sets with Probability Distributions
We consider problems on data sets where each data point has uncertainty described by an individual probability distribution. We develop several frameworks and algorithms for calcul...
