Graph editing problems deal with the complexity of transforming a given input graph G from class Q to any graph H in the target class H by adding and deleting edges. Motivated by a physical map** scenario in Co...

Information retrieval and data compression are the two main application areas where the rich theory of string algorithmics plays a fundamental role. In this paper, we consider one algorithmic problem from each...
Chapter and Conference Paper
We study local-control algorithms for maximum flow and multicommodity flow problems in distributed networks. We propose a second-order method for accelerating the convergence of the “first-order” distributed a...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Given two sequences X and Y that are strings over some alphabet set, we consider the distance d(X, Y ) between them defined to be minimum number of character replacements and block (substring) reversals needed to...
Chapter and Conference Paper
In the windowed data stream model, we observe items coming in over time. At any time t, we consider the window of the last N observations a t-(N-1), a t-(N-2), . . ...

Range searching, a fundamental problem in numerous applications areas, has been widely studied in computational geometry and spatial databases. Given a set of geometric objects, a typical range query asks for ...

Chapter and Conference Paper
A histogram is a piecewise-constant approximation of an observed data distribution. A histogram is used as a small-space, approximate synopsis of the underlying data distribution, which is often too large to b...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Much recent work in the theoretical computer science, linear algebra, and machine learning has considered matrix decompositions of the following form: given an m ×n matrix A, decompose it as a product of three ma...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Given an m ×n matrix A and an integer k less than the rank of A, the “best” rank k approximation to A that minimizes the error with respect to the Frobenius norm is A k ...
Chapter and Conference Paper
We consider the problem of computing information theoretic functions such as entropy on a data stream, using sublinear space.
Chapter and Conference Paper
In sparse approximation theory, the fundamental problem is to reconstruct a signal A ∈ ℝ n from linear measurements 〈A ψ i

Given string T = T[1,...,n], the suffix sorting problem is to lexicographically sort the suffixes T[i,...,n] for all i. This problem is central to the construction of suffix arrays and trees with many application...
Chapter and Conference Paper
It is well known that n integers in the range [1,n c ] can be sorted in O(n) time in the RAM model using radix sorting. More generally, integers in any range [1,

Many popular search engines run an auction to determine the placement of advertisements next to search results. Current auctions at Google and Yahoo! let advertisers specify a single amount as their bid in the...
Chapter and Conference Paper
We study a generalization of the classical median finding problem to batched query case: given an array of unsorted n items and k (not necessarily disjoint) intervals in the array, the goal is to determine the me...
Chapter and Conference Paper
On the Internet, there are advertisements (ads) of different kinds: image, text, video and other specially marked objects that are distinct from the underlying content of the page. There is an industry behind ...
Chapter and Conference Paper
We consider the Offline Ad Slot Scheduling problem, where advertisers must be scheduled to sponsored search slots during a given period of time. Advertisers specify a budget constraint, as well as a maximum cost ...
Chapter and Conference Paper
In Internet advertising, a configuration of ads is determined by the seller, and advertisers buy spaces in the configuration. In this paper, motivated by sponsored search ads, we propose an auction where adver...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Inspired by Internet ad auction applications, we study the problem of allocating a single item via an auction when bidders place very different values on the item. We formulate this as the problem of prior-free a...
