We design an algorithm for approximating the size of \emph{Max Cut} in dense graphs. Given a proximity parameter $\varepsilon \in (0,1)$, our algorithm approximates the size of \emph{Max Cut} of a graph $G$ with $n$ vertices, within an…

Edit distance is a measurement of similarity between two sequences such as strings, point sequences, or polygonal curves. Many matching problems from a variety of areas, such as signal analysis, bioinformatics, etc., need to be solved in a…

The problem of recovering the configuration of points from their partial pairwise distances, referred to as the Euclidean Distance Matrix Completion (EDMC) problem, arises in a broad range of applications, including sensor network…

We study algorithms for estimating the size of maximum matching. This problem has been subject to extensive research. For $n$-vertex graphs, Bhattacharya, Kiss, and Saranurak [FOCS'23] (BKS) showed that an estimate that is within…

We consider approximation of diameter of a set $S$ of $n$ points in dimension $m$. E$\tilde{g}$ecio$\tilde{g}$lu and Kalantari \cite{kal} have shown that given any $p \in S$, by computing its farthest in $S$, say $q$, and in turn the…

The Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma is one of the corner stone results in dimensionality reduction. It says that given $N$, for any set of $N$ vectors $X \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, there exists a mapping $f : X \to \mathbb{R}^m$ such that $f(X)$…

Good approximations have been attained for the sparsest cut problem by rounding solutions to convex relaxations via low-distortion metric embeddings. Recently, Bryant and Tupper showed that this approach extends to the hypergraph setting by…

In this paper, we propose new techniques for solving geometric optimization problems involving interpoint distances of a point set in the plane. Given a set $P$ of $n$ points in the plane and an integer $1 \leq k \leq \binom{n}{2}$, the…

Reduced model spaces, such as reduced basis and polynomial chaos, are linear spaces $V_n$ of finite dimension $n$ which are designed for the efficient approximation of families parametrized PDEs in a Hilbert space $V$. The manifold…

The (unweighted) point-separation problem asks, given a pair of points $s$ and $t$ in the plane, and a set of candidate geometric objects, for the minimum-size subset of objects whose union blocks all paths from $s$ to $t$. Recent work has…

In the $\ell_p$-subspace sketch problem, we are given an $n\times d$ matrix $A$ with $n>d$, and asked to build a small memory data structure $Q(A,\epsilon)$ so that, for any query vector $x\in\mathbb{R}^d$, we can output a number in…

Classically, the edit distance of two length-$n$ strings can be computed in $O(n^2)$ time, whereas an $O(n^{2-\epsilon})$-time procedure would falsify the Orthogonal Vectors Hypothesis. If the edit distance does not exceed $k$, the running…

We investigate the relation between $\delta$ and $\epsilon$ required for obtaining a $(1+\delta)$-approximation in time $N^{2-\epsilon}$ for closest pair problems under various distance metrics, and for other related problems in…

In the \textsc{2-Dimensional Knapsack} problem (2DK) we are given a square knapsack and a collection of $n$ rectangular items with integer sizes and profits. Our goal is to find the most profitable subset of items that can be packed…

An $\epsilon$-approximate incidence between a point and some geometric object (line, circle, plane, sphere) occurs when the point and the object lie at distance at most $\epsilon$ from each other. Given a set of points and a set of objects,…

Two important optimization problems in the analysis of geometric data sets are clustering and sketching. Here, clustering refers to the problem of partitioning some input metric measure space (mm-space) into k clusters, minimizing some…

In the problem of adaptive compressed sensing, one wants to estimate an approximately $k$-sparse vector $x\in\mathbb{R}^n$ from $m$ linear measurements $A_1 x, A_2 x,\ldots, A_m x$, where $A_i$ can be chosen based on the outcomes $A_1…

We study the problem of $k$-means clustering in the space of straight-line segments in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$ under the Hausdorff distance. For this problem, we give a $(1+\epsilon)$-approximation algorithm that, for an input of $n$ segments, for…

We resolve the space complexity of linear sketches for approximating the maximum matching problem in dynamic graph streams where the stream may include both edge insertion and deletion. Specifically, we show that for any $\epsilon > 0$,…

Given a set of $n$ points in the plane, and a parameter $k$, we consider the problem of computing the minimum (perimeter or area) axis-aligned rectangle enclosing $k$ points. We present the first near quadratic time algorithm for this…
