A Polynomial-Time Approximation Scheme for Euclidean Steiner Forest
We give a randomized O(n polylog n)-time approximation scheme for the Steiner forest problem in the Euclidean plane. For every fixed ǫ > 0 and given n terminals in the plane ...

The Kesten-Stigum Reconstruction Bound Is Tight for Roughly Symmetric Binary Channels
We establish the exact threshold for the reconstruction problem for a binary asymmetric channel on the b-ary tree, provided that the asymmetry is sufficiently small. This is the ...

Route Fingerprinting in Anonymous Communications
Peer discovery and route set-up are an integral part of the processes by which anonymizing peer-to-peer systems are made secure. When systems are large, and individual nodes only ...

A Domain Consistency Algorithm for the Stretch Constraint
The stretch constraint occurs in many rostering problems that arise in the industrial and public service sectors. In this paper we present an efficient algorithm for domain consist...
