Strong Price of Anarchy for Machine Load Balancing
As defined by Aumann in 1959, a strong equilibrium is a Nash equilibrium that is resilient to deviations by coalitions. We give tight bounds on the strong price of anarchy for loa...

Quasi-randomness and Algorithmic Regularity for Graphs with General Degree Distributions
Abstract. We deal with two intimately related subjects: quasi-randomness and regular partitions. The purpose of the concept of quasi-randomness is to measure how much a given graph...

Private Multiparty Sampling and Approximation of Vector Combinations
We consider the problem of private efficient data mining of vertically-partitioned databases. Each of several parties holds a column of a data matrix (a vector) and the parties wan...

Lower Bounds for Quantile Estimation in Random-Order and Multi-pass Streaming
We present lower bounds on the space required to estimate the quantiles of a stream of numerical values. Quantile estimation is perhaps the most studied problem in the data stream ...

Linear Problem Kernels for NP-Hard Problems on Planar Graphs
Abstract. We develop a generic framework for deriving linear-size problem kernels for NP-hard problems on planar graphs. We demonstrate the usefulness of our framework in several c...

Constant-Round Private Database Queries
We consider several private database query problems. The starting point of this work is the element rank problem: the server holds a database of n integers, and the user an integer...

Perfect Information Stochastic Priority Games
We introduce stochastic priority games — a new class of perfect information stochastic games. These games can take two different, but equivalent, forms. In stopping priority ga...

Labeling Schemes for Vertex Connectivity
This paper studies labeling schemes for the vertex connectivity function on general graphs. We consider the problem of labeling the nodes of any n-node graph is such a way that gi...

Size Competitive Meshing Without Large Angles
We present a new meshing algorithm for the plane, Overlay Stitch Meshing (OSM), accepting as input an arbitrary Planar Straight Line Graph and producing a triangulation with all an...
