Approximation Algorithms for Unique Games
We present a polynomial time algorithm based on semidefinite programming that, given a unique game of value 1 − O(1/ log n), satisfies a constant fraction of constraints, wher...

Sampling-based Approximation Algorithms for Multi-stage Stochastic
Stochastic optimization problems provide a means to model uncertainty in the input data where the uncertainty is modeled by a probability distribution over the possible realizatio...

Learning mixtures of product distributions over discrete domains
We consider the problem of learning mixtures of product distributions over discrete domains in the distribution learning framework introduced by Kearns et al. [18]. We give a poly...

Towards a Final Analysis of Pairing Heaps
Fredman, Sedgewick, Sleator, and Tarjan proposed the pairing heap as a self-adjusting, streamlined version of the Fibonacci heap. It provably supports all priority queue operation...

Concurrent Non-Malleable Commitments
We present a non-malleable commitment scheme that retains its security properties even when concurrently executed a polynomial number of times. That is, a manin-the-middle adversa...

The Complexity of Online Memory Checking
We consider the problem of storing a large file on a remote and unreliable server. To verify that the file has not been corrupted, a user could store a small private (randomized...

The Closest Substring problem with small distances
In the CLOSEST SUBSTRING problem k strings s1, ..., sk are given, and the task is to find a string s of length L such that each string si has a consecutive substring of length L ...
