Minimizing average flow-time under knapsack constraint
We give the first logarithmic approximation for minimizing average flow-time of jobs in the subset parallel machine setting (also called the restricted assignment setting) under...

Capacitated Max-Batching with interval graph compatibilities
We consider the problem of partitioning interval graphs into cliques of bounded size. Each interval has a weight, and the cost of a clique is the maximum weight of any interval in...

On competitive recommendations
We are given an unknown binary matrix, where the entries correspond to preferences of users on items. We want to find at least one 1-entry in each row with a minimum number of que...

Hardness of computing width parameters based on branch decompositions over the vertex set
Many width parameters of graphs are defined using branch decompositions over the vertex set of the graph and a corresponding cut-function. In this paper, we give a general framew...

Adaptive metric dimensionality reduction
Abstract. We study data-adaptive dimensionality reduction in the context of supervised learning in general metric spaces. Our main statistical contribution is a generalization boun...

Unique parallel decomposition in branching and weak bisimulation semantics
We consider the property of unique parallel decomposition modulo branching and weak bisimilarity. First, we show that totally normed behaviours always have parallel decompositions,...

Order compression schemes
Sample compression schemes are schemes for “encoding” a set of examples in a small subset of examples. The long-standing open sample compression conjecture states that, for any...

A synthetic axiomatization of Map Theory
This paper presents a substantially simplified axiomatization of Map Theory and proves the consistency of this axiomatization (called MT) in ZFC under the assumption that there e...

The number and degree distribution of spanning trees in the Tower of Hanoi graph
The number of spanning trees of a graph is an important invariant related to topological and dynamic properties of the graph, such as its reliability, communication aspects, synch...
