We present the first constant-factor approximation algorithm for network design with multiple commodities and economies of scale. We consider the rent-or-buy problem, a type of m...

We obtain a near-tight bound of O(n3+ε ), for any ε > 0, on the complexity of the overlay of the minimization diagrams of two collections of surfaces in four dimensions. This...

We show new lower bounds and impossibility results for general (possibly non-black-box) zero-knowledge proofs and arguments. Our main results are that, under reasonable complexity...

We consider the problem of testing functions for the property of being a k-junta (i.e., of depending on at most k variables). Fischer, Kindler, Ron, Safra, and Samorodnitsky (J. Co...

We reopen the issue of finding an implicit data structure for the dictionary problem. In particular, we examine the problem of maintaining Ò data values in the first Ò locatio...
