Wireless Communication Is in APX
Abstract. In this paper we address a common question in wireless communication: How long does it take to satisfy an arbitrary set of wireless communication requests? This problem i...

Approximation Algorithms via Structural Results for Apex-Minor-Free Graphs
We develop new structural results for apex-minor-free graphs and show their power by developing two new approximation algorithms. The first is an additive approximation for colorin...

Limiting Negations in Formulas
Negation-limited circuits have been studied as a circuit model between general circuits and monotone circuits. In this paper, we consider limiting negations in formulas. The minimu...

Correlation Clustering Revisited: The "True" Cost of Error Minimization Problems
Correlation Clustering was defined by Bansal, Blum, and Chawla as the problem of clustering a set of elements based on a possibly inconsistent binary similarity function between e...

Factoring Groups Efficiently
We give a polynomial time algorithm that computes a decomposition of a finite group G given in the form of its multiplication table. That is, given G, the algorithm outputs two su...

Dynamic Succinct Ordered Trees
Abstract. We study the problem of maintaining a dynamic tree succinctly, in 2n + o(n) bits, under updates of the following form: insertion or deletion of a leaf, insertion of a nod...

Improved Bounds for Flow Shop Scheduling
We resolve an open question raised by Feige & Scheideler by showing that the best known approximation algorithm for flow shops is essentially tight with respect to the used low...

The Ehrenfeucht-Silberger Problem
We consider repetitions in words and solve a longstanding open problem about the relation between the period and the length of its longest unbordered factor. A word u is called bor...

External Sampling
We initiate the study of sublinear-time algorithms in the external memory model [14]. In this model, the data is stored in blocks of a certain size B, and the algorithm is charged...
