We provide combinatorial algorithms for the unsplittable flow problem (UFP) that either match or improve the previously best results. In the UFP we are given a (possibly directed)...
Fast and frugal heuristics are well studied models of bounded rationality. Psychological research has proposed the take-the-best heuristic as a successful strategy in decision mak...
Motivated by several applications, we introduce various distance measures between “top k lists.” Some of these distance measures are metrics, while others are not. For each of...
Various new nonembeddability results (mainly into L1) are proved via Fourier analysis. In particular, it is shown that the Edit Distance on {0, 1}d has L1 distortion (log d) 1 2 ...
We present an approach to computing cyclic schedules online and in real time, while attempting to maximize a quality-of-service metric. The motivation is the detection of RF emitt...
