We propose a quasi-greedy algorithm for approximating the classical uncapacitated 2-level facility location problem (2-LFLP). Our algorithm, unlike the standard greedy algorithm, ...
We consider the problem of storing an ordered dictionary data structure over a distributed set of nodes. In contrast to traditional sequential data structures, distributed data st...
We prove that any one-pass streaming algorithm which ( , )-approximates the kth frequency moment Fk, for any real k = 1 and any = 1 m , must use 1 2 bits of space, where m is th...
We design polynomial time approximation schemes (PTASs) for Metric BISECTION, i.e. dividing a given finite metric space into two halves so as to minimize or maximize the sum of di...

We show that 4-universal hashing can be implemented efficiently using tabulated 4-universal hashing for characters, gaining a factor of 5 in speed over the fastest existing method...
For a rectilinear Steiner tree T with a root, define its k-th moment Mk(T) = T (dT (u))k du, where the integration is over all edges of T, dT (u) is the length of the unique path ...
We give several new upper and lower bounds on the worst-case severity of Braess's Paradox and the price of anarchy of selfish routing with respect to the maximum latency obje...
