Robust Shape Fitting via Peeling and Grating Coresets
Let P be a set of n points in Rd . A subset S of P is called a (k, )-kernel if for every direction, the direction width of S -approximates that of P, when k "outliers" c...

Setting port numbers for fast graph exploration
We consider the problem of periodic graph exploration by a finite automaton in which an automaton with a constant number of states has to explore all unknown anonymous graphs of a...

Similarity estimation techniques from rounding algorithms
A locality sensitive hashing scheme is a distribution on a family F of hash functions operating on a collection of objects, such that for two objects x, y, PrhF [h(x) = h(y)] = si...

Inapproximability Results for Combinatorial Auctions with Submodular Utility Functions
We consider the following allocation problem arising in the setting of combinatorial auctions: a set of goods is to be allocated to a set of players so as to maximize the sum of t...
