Let $X$ be a set of points in $\mathbb{R}^2$ and $\mathcal{O}$ be a set of geometric objects in $\mathbb{R}^2$, where $|X| + |\mathcal{O}| = n$. We study the problem of computing a minimum subset $\mathcal{O}^* \subseteq \mathcal{O}$ that…

We consider the classic 3SUM problem: given sets of integers $A, B, C $, determine whether there is a tuple $(a, b, c) \in A \times B \times C$ satisfying $a + b + c = 0$. The 3SUM Hypothesis, central in fine-grained complexity, states that…

We study sublinear-time algorithms for solving linear systems $Sz = b$, where $S$ is a diagonally dominant matrix, i.e., $|S_{ii}| \geq \delta + \sum_{j \ne i} |S_{ij}|$ for all $i \in [n]$, for some $\delta \geq 0$. We present randomized…
