Gadgets, Approximation, and Linear Programming
We present a linear programming-based method for nding \gadgets", i.e., combinatorial structures reducing constraints of one optimization problem to constraints of another. A...

On a Conjecture by Coffman, Flatto, and Wright on Stochastic Machine Minimization
We investigate a conjecture stated by Coffman, Flatto, and Wright within the context of a stochastic machine minimization problem with a hard deadline. We prove that the conjecture...

On Bipartite Drawings and the Linear Arrangement Problem
The bipartite crossing number problem is studied, and a connection between this problem and the linear arrangement problem is established. It is shown that when the arboricity is ...

Constructive, Deterministic Implementation of Shared Memory on Meshes
This paper describes a scheme to implement a shared address space of size m on an n-node mesh, with m polynomial in n, where each mesh node hosts a processor and a memory module. A...
