We give the first non-trivial decremental dynamic embedding of a weighted, undirected graph $G$ into $\ell_p$ space. Given a weighted graph $G$ undergoing a sequence of edge weight increases, the goal of this problem is to maintain a…

We study generalizations of classical metric embedding results to the case of quasimetric spaces; that is, spaces that do not necessarily satisfy symmetry. Quasimetric spaces arise naturally from the shortest-path distances on directed…

We introduce a new distance-preserving compact representation of multi-dimensional point-sets. Given $n$ points in a $d$-dimensional space where each coordinate is represented using $B$ bits (i.e., $dB$ bits per point), it produces a…

Fix $p>2$. We prove that the Euclidean distortion of every $n$-point subset of $L_p$ is $p^3(\log n)^{\frac12+o(1)}$, thus, in particular, demonstrating that all $n$-point subsets of $L_p$ exhibit an asymptotic improvement over the $O(\log…
