In this work, we present a new random sampling method for data streams where the probability of an element's inclusion in the sample is proportional to a weight associated with that element. Our method is based on sampling with replacement,…

We study the weighted token swapping problem, in which we are given a graph on $n$ vertices, $n$ weighted tokens, an initial assignment of one token to each vertex, and a final assignment of one token to each vertex. The goal is to find a…

Let M be a matroid on ground set E. A subset l of E is called a `line' when its rank equals 1 or 2. Given a set L of lines, a `fractional matching' in (M,L) is a nonnegative vector x indexed by the lines in L, that satisfies a system of…
