A Faster Exponential Time Algorithm for Bin Packing With a Constant Number of Bins via Additive Combinatorics
In the Bin Packing problem one is given n items with different weights and m bins with a given capacity; the goal is to distribute the items over the bins without exceeding the capacity. Björklund, …

Approximating pathwidth for graphs of small treewidth
We describe a polynomial-time algorithm which, given a graph $G$ with treewidth $t$, approximates the pathwidth of $G$ to within a ratio of $O(t\sqrt{\log t})$. Our approach builds on the following key insight: every graph …

Quasi-polynomial-time algorithm for Independent Set in P_t-free and C_{>t}-free graphs via shrinking the space of connecting subgraphs
In a recent breakthrough work, Gartland and Lokshtanov [FOCS 2020] showed a quasi-polynomial-time algorithm for Maximum Weight Independent Set in P_t-free graphs, that is, graphs excluding a fixed path as an induced subgraph. Their algorithm …

The number of repetitions in 2D-strings
The notions of periodicity and repetitions in strings, and hence these of runs and squares, naturally extend to two-dimensional strings. We consider two types of repetitions in 2D-strings: 2D-runs and quartics (quartics are a 2D-version …

Dimensionality Reduction for k-distance Applied to Persistent Homology
Given a set P of n points and a constant k, we are interested in computing the persistent homology of the Čech filtration of P for the k-distance, and investigate the effectiveness of dimensionality reduction …

Quasi-polynomial time approximation schemes for the Maximum Weight Independent Set Problem in H-free graphs
This Thursday we will have our first virtual algorithms seminar! Please join us at https://us04web.zoom.us/j/967084831 (Meeting ID: 967 084 831). In the Maximum Independent Set problem we are asked to find a set of pairwise …

Randomized Incremental Construction of Delaunay Triangulations of Nice Point Sets
Randomized incremental construction (RIC) is one of the most important paradigms for building geometric data structures. Clarkson and Shor developed a general theory that led to numerous algorithms that are both simple and efficient in …

Almost Optimal Distance Oracles for Planar Graphs
We present new tradeoffs between space and query-time for exact distance oracles in directed weighted planar graphs. These tradeoffs are almost optimal in the sense that they are within polylogarithmic, subpolynomial or arbitrarily small polynomial factors …

Massively parallel algorithms for finding connected components
In this talk we consider the problem of finding connected components in a distributed setting. We present state of the art algorithms that achieve near-optimal round complexity and work well in practice. Our main focus …

On Geometric Set Cover for Orthants
We study Set Cover for orthants: Given a set of points in a d-dimensional Euclidean space and a set of orthants of the form (-infty,p_1] x ... x (-infty,p_d], select a minimum number of orthants …

Probabilistic tensors and opportunistic Boolean matrix multiplication
We introduce probabilistic extensions of classical deterministic measures of algebraic complexity of a tensor, such as the rank and the border rank. We show that these probabilistic extensions satisfy various natural and algorithmically serendipitous properties, …

Walking Randomly, Massively, and Efficiently
We introduce an approach that allows for efficiently generating many independent random walks in big graph models, such as the Massive Parallel Computation (MPC) model. We consider the case where the space per machine is …

A Polynomial-Time Approximation Scheme for Facility Location on Planar Graphs
We consider the classic Facility Location problem on planar graphs (non-uniform, uncapacitated). Given an edge-weighted planar graph $G$, a set of clients $C\subseteq V(G)$, a set of facilities $F \subseteq V(G)$, and opening costs $w …

Trees in tournaments
A tournament is an orientation of a complete graph. A digraph is n-unavoidable if it is contained (as a subdigraph) in every tournament of order n. The unavoidability of a digraph D is the minimum …

Even Faster Elastic-Degenerate String Matching via Fast Matrix Multiplication
An elastic-degenerate (ED) string is a sequence of n sets of strings of total length N, which was recently proposed to model a set of similar sequences. The ED string matching (EDSM) problem is to …
