Thin Partitions: Isoperimetric Inequalities and a Sampling Algorithm for Star Shaped Bodies
Star-shaped bodies are an important nonconvex generalization of convex bodies (e.g., linear programming with violations). Here we present an efficient algorithm for sampling a giv...

Near-Optimal Sublinear Time Algorithms for Ulam Distance
We give near-tight bounds for estimating the edit distance between two non-repetitive strings (Ulam distance) with constant approximation, in sub-linear time. For two strings of l...

Solving MAX-r-SAT Above a Tight Lower Bound
We present an exact algorithm that decides, for every fixed r ≥ 2 in time O(m) + 2O(k2 ) whether a given multiset of m clauses of size r admits a truth assignment that satisfi...

Cache-Oblivious Dynamic Dictionaries with Update/Query Tradeoffs
Several existing cache-oblivious dynamic dictionaries achieve O(logB N) (or slightly better O(logB N M )) memory transfers per operation, where N is the number of items stored, M ...

Cell-Probe Lower Bounds for Succinct Partial Sums
The partial sums problem in succinct data structures asks to preprocess an array A[1 . . n] of bits into a data structure using as close to n bits as possible, and answer queries ...

An O(log n/ log log n)-approximation Algorithm for the Asymmetric Traveling Salesman Problem
We consider the Asymmetric Traveling Salesman problem for costs satisfying the triangle inequality. We derive a randomized algorithm which delivers a solution within a factor O(lo...
