We show a linear-size reduction from gap Max-2-Lin(2) (a generalization of the gap $\mathrm{Max}$-$\mathrm{Cut}$ problem) to $\gamma\text{-}\mathrm{CVP}_p$ for $\gamma = \mathrm{O}(1)$ and finite $p\geq 1$, as well as a no-go theorem…

The (Non-Preemptive) Throughput Maximization problem is a natural and fundamental scheduling problem. We are given $n$ jobs, where each job $j$ is characterized by a processing time and a time window, contained in a global interval $[0,T)$,…

The tasks of extracting (top-$K$) Frequent Itemsets (FI's) and Association Rules (AR's) are fundamental primitives in data mining and database applications. Exact algorithms for these problems exist and are widely used, but their running…

We consider the problem of approximating a function from $L^2$ by an element of a given $m$-dimensional space $V_m$, associated with some feature map $\boldsymbol{\varphi}$, using evaluations of the function at random points $x_1,…

We present an accurate and rapid solution of Poisson's equation for space-filling, arbitrarily- shaped, convex Voronoi polyhedra (VP); the method is O(NVP), where NVP is the number of distinct VP representing the system. In effect, we…

We present an algorithm for minimizing the sum of a strongly convex time-varying function with a time-invariant, convex, and nonsmooth function. The proposed algorithm employs the prediction-correction scheme alongside the forward-backward…

Multidimensional packing problems generalize the classical packing problems such as Bin Packing, Multiprocessor Scheduling by allowing the jobs to be $d$-dimensional vectors. While the approximability of the scalar problems is well…

We study the problem of estimating the size of maximum matching and minimum vertex cover in sublinear time. Denoting the number of vertices by $n$ and the average degree in the graph by $\bar{d}$, we obtain the following results for both…

Bl\"omer and Seifert showed that $\mathsf{SIVP}_2$ is NP-hard to approximate by giving a reduction from $\mathsf{CVP}_2$ to $\mathsf{SIVP}_2$ for constant approximation factors as long as the $\mathsf{CVP}$ instance has a certain property.…

We present the first near optimal approximation schemes for the maximum weighted (uncapacitated or capacitated) $b$--matching problems for non-bipartite graphs that run in time (near) linear in the number of edges. For any…

We revisit the problem of finding optimal strategies for deterministic Markov Decision Processes (DMDPs), and a closely related problem of testing feasibility of systems of $m$ linear inequalities on $n$ real variables with at most two…

Given a set $S$ of $n$ disjoint line segments in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$, the visibility counting problem (VCP) is to preprocess $S$ such that the number of segments in $S$ visible from any query point $p$ can be computed quickly. This problem can…

We give a deterministic 2^{O(n)} algorithm for computing an M-ellipsoid of a convex body, matching a known lower bound. This has several interesting consequences including improved deterministic algorithms for volume estimation of convex…

We develop a new technique for proving cell-probe lower bounds for static data structures. Previous lower bounds used a reduction to communication games, which was known not to be tight by counting arguments. We give the first lower bound…

This paper establishes expectation and variance asymptotics for statistics of the Poisson--Voronoi approximation of general sets, as the underlying intensity of the Poisson point process tends to infinity. Statistics of interest include…

Solving Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDPs) with continuous actions is challenging, particularly for high-dimensional action spaces. To alleviate this difficulty, we propose a new sampling-based online POMDP solver,…

The vertex cover problem is one of the most important and intensively studied combinatorial optimization problems. Khot and Regev (2003) proved that the problem is NP-hard to approximate within a factor $2 - \epsilon$, assuming the Unique…

We present an explicit and efficient construction of additively weighted Voronoi diagrams on planar graphs. Let $G$ be a planar graph with $n$ vertices and $b$ sites that lie on a constant number of faces. We show how to preprocess $G$ in…

We consider the Cauchy problem for a first-order evolution equation with memory in a finite-dimensional Hilbert space when the integral term is related to the time derivative of the solution. The main problems of the approximate solution of…

The conjectured hardness of Boolean matrix-vector multiplication has been used with great success to prove conditional lower bounds for numerous important data structure problems, see Henzinger et al. [STOC'15]. In recent work, Larsen and…
