Improved Approximation Algorithms for the Spanning Star Forest Problem
A star graph is a tree of diameter at most two. A star forest is a graph that consists of node-disjoint star graphs. In the spanning star forest problem, given an unweighted graph ...

Constrained k-center and movement to independence
We obtain hardness results and approximation algorithms for two related geometric problems involving movement. The first is a constrained variant of the k-center problem, arising ...

One-Pass Wavelet Synopses for Maximum-Error Metrics
We study the problem of computing waveletbased synopses for massive data sets in static and streaming environments. A compact representation of a data set is obtained after a thre...

Maximum Entropy in Nilsson's Probabilistic Logic
Nilsson's Probabilistic Logic is a set theoretic mechanism for reasoning with uncertainty. We propose a new way of looking at the probability constraints enforced by the fram...

Randomly supported independence and resistance
We prove that for any positive integer k, there is a constant ck such that a randomly selected set of cknk log n Boolean vectors with high probability supports a balanced k-wise i...
