Sublinear geometric algorithms
We initiate an investigation of sublinear algorithms for geometric problems in two and three dimensions. We give optimal algorithms for intersection detection of convex polygons a...

Better streaming algorithms for clustering problems
We study clustering problems in the streaming model, where the goal is to cluster a set of points by making one pass (or a few passes) over the data using a small amount of storag...

On the limits of cache-obliviousness
In this paper, we present lower bounds for permuting and sorting in the cache-oblivious model. We prove that (1) I/O optimal cache-oblivious comparison based sorting is not possib...

Some 3CNF properties are hard to test
For a Boolean formula on n variables, the associated property P is the collection of n-bit strings that satisfy . We study the query complexity of tests that distinguish (with hig...

Random knapsack in expected polynomial time
In this paper, we present the first average-case analysis proving an expected polynomial running time for an exact algorithm for the 0/1 knapsack problem. In particular, we prove,...

A sublinear algorithm for weakly approximating edit distance
We show how to determine whether the edit distance between two given strings is small in sublinear time. Specifically, we present a test which, given two n-character strings A and...

On metric ramsey-type phenomena
The main question studied in this article may be viewed as a nonlinear analogue of Dvoretzky's theorem in Banach space theory or as part of Ramsey theory in combinatorics. Gi...

Optimal oblivious routing in polynomial time
A recent seminal result of R?acke is that for any network there is an oblivious routing algorithm with a polylog competitive ratio with respect to congestion. Unfortunately, R?ack...
