: In this paper we rst present a general lower bound on the stabilization time which holds for a number of graph theoretic problems, including leader election, spanning tree constr...
This paper proposes a framework that provides significant speed-ups and also improves the effectiveness of general message passing algorithms based on dual LP relaxations. It is ap...
Given a set of numbers, and a set of bins of fixed capacity, the NP-complete problem of bin packing is to find the minimum number of bins needed to contain the numbers, such that ...
: This paper describes a new hybrid technique that combines a Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure (GRASP) and a genetic algorithm with simulation features in order to solve...

We give near-tight bounds for estimating the edit distance between two non-repetitive strings (Ulam distance) with constant approximation, in sub-linear time. For two strings of l...
