A tight bound on approximating arbitrary metrics by tree metrics
In this paper, we show that any n point metric space can be embedded into a distribution over dominating tree metrics such that the expected stretch of any edge is O(log n). This ...

Approximate counting by dynamic programming
We give efficient algorithms to sample uniformly, and count approximately, the solutions to a zero-one knapsack problem. The algorithm is based on using dynamic programming to pro...

Almost random graphs with simple hash functions
We describe a simple randomized construction for generating pairs of hash functions h1, h2 from a universe U to ranges V = [m] = {0, 1, . . . , m - 1} and W = [m] so that for ever...

Alpha-shapes and flow shapes are homotopy equivalent
In this paper we establish a topological similarity between two apparently different shape constructors from a set of points. Shape constructors are geometric structures that tran...

A new approach to dynamic all pairs shortest paths
We study novel combinatorial properties of graphs that allow us to devise a completely new approach to dynamic all pairs shortest paths problems. Our approach yields a fully dynam...

Non-interactive and reusable non-malleable commitment schemes
We consider non-malleable (NM) and universally composable (UC) commitment schemes in the common reference string (CRS) model. We show how to construct non-interactive NM commitmen...

A fast algorithm for computing steiner edge connectivity
Given an undirected graph or an Eulerian directed graph G and a subset S of its vertices, we show how to determine the edge connectivity C of the vertices in S in time O(C3 n log ...
