Detecting Race Conditions in Parallel Programs that Use Semaphores
Abstract. We address the problem of detecting race conditions in programs that use semaphores for synchronization. Netzer and Miller showed that it is NP-complete to detect race co...

Randomized Approximation Schemes for Cuts and Flows in Capacitated Graphs
We improve on random sampling techniques for approximately solving problems that involve cuts and flows in graphs. We give a near-linear-time construction that transforms any grap...

Polynomial Time Data Reduction for Dominating Set
Dealing with the NP-complete Dominating Set problem on graphs, we demonstrate the power of data reduction by preprocessing from a theoretical as well as a practical side. In parti...

Linear-Time Algorithms for Computing Maximum-Density Sequence Segments with Bioinformatics Applications
an abstract optimization problem arising from biomolecular sequence analysis. For a sequence A of pairs (ai, wi) for i = 1, . . . , n and wi > 0, a segment A(i, j) is a consecu...

Sequential and Parallel Algorithms for Mixed Packing and Covering
We describe sequential and parallel algorithms that approximately solve linear programs with no negative coefficients (a.k.a. mixed packing and covering problems). For explicitly ...
