Approximating the 2-Interval Pattern Problem
We address the problem of approximating the 2-Interval Pattern problem over its various models and restrictions. This problem, which is motivated by RNA secondary structure predict...

On the Price of Anarchy and Stability of Correlated Equilibria of Linear Congestion Games
We consider the price of stability for Nash and correlated equilibria of linear congestion games. The price of stability is the optimistic price of anarchy, the ratio of the cost ...

Oblivious vs. Distribution-Based Sorting: An Experimental Evaluation
We compare two algorithms for sorting out-of-core data on a distributed-memory cluster. One algorithm, Csort, is a 3-pass oblivious algorithm. The other, Dsort, makes three passes...

Finding Shortest Non-separating and Non-contractible Cycles for Topologically Embedded Graphs
We present an algorithm for finding shortest surface non-separating cycles in graphs embedded on surfaces in O(g3/2 V 3/2 log V + g5/2 V 1/2 ) time, where V is the number of vert...

Matching Point Sets with Respect to the Earth Mover's Distance
Let A and B be two sets of m resp. n weighted points in the plane, with m ≤ n. We present (1 + ) and (2+ )-approximation algorithms for the minimum Euclidean Earth Mover’s Dis...

Online Primal-Dual Algorithms for Covering and Packing Problems
We study a wide range of online covering and packing optimization problems. In an online covering problem a linear cost function is known in advance, but the linear constraints th...

Computing Common Intervals of K Permutations, with Applications to Modular Decomposition of Graphs
We introduce a new way to compute common intervals of K permutations based on a very simple and general notion of generators of common intervals. This formalism leads to simple an...
