Global minimum cuts in surface embedded graphs
We give a deterministic algorithm to find the minimum cut in a surface-embedded graph in near-linear time. Given an undirected graph embedded on an orientable surface of genus g,...

Chromatic correlation clustering
We study a novel clustering problem in which the pairwise relations between objects are categorical. This problem can be viewed as clustering the vertices of a graph whose edges a...

Distributed local broadcasting algorithms in the physical interference model
—Given a set of sensor nodes V where each node wants to broadcast a message to all its neighbors that are within a certain broadcasting range, the local broadcasting problem is t...

Processing theta-joins using MapReduce
Joins are essential for many data analysis tasks, but are not supported directly by the MapReduce paradigm. While there has been progress on equi-joins, implementation of join alg...

Dense locally testable codes cannot have constant rate and distance
A q-query locally testable code (LTC) is an error correcting code that can be tested by a randomized algorithm that reads at most q symbols from the given word. An important questi...

Pseudo-random graphs and bit probe schemes with one-sided error
We study probabilistic bit-probe schemes for the membership problem. Given a set A of at most n elements from the universe of size m we organize such a structure that queries of t...

An O(log n/ log log n)-approximation Algorithm for the Asymmetric Traveling Salesman Problem
We consider the Asymmetric Traveling Salesman problem for costs satisfying the triangle inequality. We derive a randomized algorithm which delivers a solution within a factor O(lo...
