Some Results on Greedy Embeddings in Metric Spaces
Geographic Routing is a family of routing algorithms that uses geographic point locations as addresses for the purposes of routing. Such routing algorithms have proven to be both ...

Multi-unit Auctions with Budget Limits
We study multi-unit auctions where the bidders have a budget constraint, a situation very common in practice that has received relatively little attention in the auction theory li...

Arithmetic Circuits: A Chasm at Depth Four
We show that proving exponential lower bounds on depth four arithmetic circuits imply exponential lower bounds for unrestricted depth arithmetic circuits. In other words, for expo...

Fast Modular Composition in any Characteristic
We give an algorithm for modular composition of degree n univariate polynomials over a finite field Fq requiring n1+o(1) log1+o(1) q bit operations; this had earlier been achiev...

Hardness of Minimizing and Learning DNF Expressions
We study the problem of finding the minimum size DNF formula for a function f : {0, 1}d → {0, 1} given its truth table. We show that unless NP ⊆ DTIME(npoly(log n) ), there i...

Near-Optimal Sparse Recovery in the L1 Norm
Abstract— We consider the approximate sparse recovery problem, where the goal is to (approximately) recover a highdimensional vector x ∈ Rn from its lower-dimensional sketch Ax...

Algorithms for Single-Source Vertex Connectivity
In the Survivable Network Design Problem (SNDP) the goal is to find a minimum cost subset of edges that satisfies a given set of pairwise connectivity requirements among the ver...

Spherical Cubes and Rounding in High Dimensions
What is the least surface area of a shape that tiles Rd under translations by Zd ? Any such shape must have volume 1 and hence surface area at least that of the volume-1 ball, nam...
