The usual division algorithms on $\mathbb{Z}$ and $\mathbb{Z}[i]$ measure the size of remainders using the norm function. These rings are Euclidean with respect to several functions. The pointwise minimum of all Euclidean functions $f: R…

Let P be a set of n points in R^3. The 2-center problem for P is to find two congruent balls of minimum radius whose union covers P. We present two randomized algorithms for computing a 2-center of P. The first algorithm runs in O(n^3 log^5…

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…

Consider that there are $k\le n$ agents in a simple, connected, and undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ with $n$ nodes and $m$ edges. The goal of the dispersion problem is to move these $k$ agents to mutually distinct nodes. Agents can communicate…

Given a set of pairwise disjoint polygonal obstacles in the plane, finding an obstacle-avoiding Euclidean shortest path between two points is a classical problem in computational geometry and has been studied extensively. Previously,…

We study $k$-star decompositions, that is, partitions of the edge set into disjoint stars with $k$ edges, in the uniformly random $d$-regular graph model $\mathcal{G}_{n,d}$. Using the small subgraph conditioning method, we prove an…

We study smoothed analysis of distributed graph algorithms, focusing on the fundamental minimum spanning tree (MST) problem. With the goal of studying the time complexity of distributed MST as a function of the "perturbation" of the input…

A disk graph is an intersection graph of disks in the Euclidean plane, where the disks correspond to the vertices of the graph and a pair of vertices are adjacent if and only if their corresponding disks intersect. The problem of…

Given an undirected edge-weighted graph $G=(V,E)$ with $m$ edges and $n$ vertices, the minimum cut problem asks to find a subset of vertices $S$ such that the total weight of all edges between $S$ and $V \setminus S$ is minimized. Karger's…

We introduce and study the \emph{Lattice Distortion Problem} (LDP). LDP asks how "similar" two lattices are. I.e., what is the minimal distortion of a linear bijection between the two lattices? LDP generalizes the Lattice Isomorphism…

This study introduces a new "Non-Dimensional" star identification algorithm to reliably identify the stars observed by a wide field-of-view star tracker when the focal length and optical axis offset values are known with poor accuracy. This…

This paper presents a distributed algorithm for finding near optimal dominating sets on grids. The basis for this algorithm is an existing centralized algorithm that constructs dominating sets on grids. The size of the dominating set…

The Euclidean dimension a graph $G$ is defined to be the smallest integer $d$ such that the vertices of $G$ can be located in $\mathbb{R}^d$ in such a way that two vertices are unit distance apart if and only if they are adjacent in $G$. In…

The girth of a graph is the length of its shortest cycle. We give an algorithm that computes in O(n(log n)^3) time and O(n) space the (weighted) girth of an n-vertex planar digraph with arbitrary real edge weights. This is an improvement of…

We present a new and simple randomized algorithm for constructing the Delaunay triangulation using nearest neighbor graphs for point location. Under suitable assumptions, it runs in linear expected time for points in the plane with…

Primal and dual algorithms are developed for solving the $n$-dimensional convex optimization problem of finding the Euclidean ball of minimum radius that covers $m$ given Euclidean balls, each with a given center and radius. Each algorithm…

In this paper, we consider a facility location problem to find a minimum-sum coverage of n points by disks centered at a fixed line. The cost of a disk with radius r has a form of a non-decreasing function f(r) = r^a for any a >= 1. The…

The diameter of a directed graph is the maximum distance between any pair of vertices. We study a problem that generalizes \textsc{Oriented Diameter}: For a given directed graph and a positive integer $d$, what is the minimum number of arc…

We present two main contributions to the expected star discrepancy theory. First, we derive a sharper expected upper bound for jittered sampling, improving the leading constants and logarithmic terms compared to the state-of-the-art [Doerr,…

The metric sketching problem is defined as follows. Given a metric on $n$ points, and $\epsilon>0$, we wish to produce a small size data structure (sketch) that, given any pair of point indices, recovers the distance between the points up…
