The fluctuations of the passage time in first passage percolation are of great interest. We show that the non-random fluctuations in planar FPP are at least of order $\log(n)^\alpha$ for any $\alpha<1/2$ under some conditions that are known…

This paper is devoted to the error analysis of a time-spectral algorithm for fractional diffusion problems of order $\alpha$ ($0 < \alpha < 1$). The solution regularity in the Sobolev space is revisited, and new regularity results in the…

We consider the precedence-constrained scheduling problem to minimize the total weighted completion time. For a single machine several $2$-approximation algorithms are known, which are based on linear programming and network flows. We show…

Let G = (V,E) be a planar n-vertex digraph. Consider the problem of computing max st-flow values in G from a fixed source s to all sinks t in V\{s}. We show how to solve this problem in near-linear O(n log^3 n) time. Previously, no better…

We investigate the combinatorial discrepancy of geometric set systems having bounded shallow cell complexity in the \emph{Beck-Fiala} setting, where each point belongs to at most $t$ ranges. For set systems with shallow cell complexity…

A recent approach to the Beck-Fiala conjecture, a fundamental problem in combinatorics, has been to understand when random integer matrices have constant discrepancy. We give a complete answer to this question for two natural models:…

We introduce a new algorithmic framework for discrepancy minimization based on regularization. We demonstrate how varying the regularizer allows us to re-interpret several breakthrough works in algorithmic discrepancy, ranging from…

In the classical interval scheduling type of problems, a set of $n$ jobs, characterized by their start and end time, need to be executed by a set of machines, under various constraints. In this paper we study a new variant in which the jobs…

We study the fundamental question of how efficiently suffix array entries can be accessed when the array cannot be stored explicitly. The suffix array $SA_T[1..n]$ of a text $T$ of length $n$ encodes the lexicographic order of its suffixes…
