Planar Cycle Covering Graphs
We describe a new variational lower-bound on the minimum energy configuration of a planar binary Markov Random Field (MRF). Our method is based on adding auxiliary nodes to every...

On the Quantum Query Complexity of Local Search in Two and Three Dimensions
The quantum query complexity of searching for local optima has been a subject of much interest in the recent literature. For the d-dimensional grid graphs, the complexity has been...

The Freeze-Tag Problem: How to Wake Up a Swarm of Robots
An optimization problem that naturally arises in the study of swarm robotics is the Freeze-Tag Problem (FTP) of how to awaken a set of "asleep" robots, by having an awak...

Metric Embeddings with Relaxed Guarantees
We consider the problem of embedding finite metrics with slack: we seek to produce embeddings with small dimension and distortion while allowing a (small) constant fraction of al...

Pseudo-random graphs and bit probe schemes with one-sided error
We study probabilistic bit-probe schemes for the membership problem. Given a set A of at most n elements from the universe of size m we organize such a structure that queries of t...
