Navigability of networks, that is, the ability to find any given destination vertex starting from any other vertex, is crucial to their usefulness. In 2000 Kleinberg showed that optimal navigability could be achieved in small world networks provided that a ...
We obtain a 1.5-approximation algorithm for the metric uncapacitated facility location problem (UFL), which improves on the previously best known 1.52-approximation algorithm by Mahdian, Ye and Zhang. Note, that the approximability lower bound by Guha and ...
This paper presents a receiver-driven video delivery algorithm that exploits a novel Randomized Network Coding (RNC) scheme for unequal error protection (UEP). The main idea of our approach is to account for the unequal importance of media packets in the n ...
We present an extension of a classical data management subproblem, the page migration. The problem is investigated in dynamic networks, where costs of communication between different nodes may change with time. We construct asymptotically optimal online al ...
In a posteriori error analysis of reduced basis approximations to affinely parametrized partial differential equations, the construction of lower bounds for the coercivity and inf-sup stability constants is essential. In [Huynh et al., C. R. Acad. Sci. Par ...
The last decade has witnessed a fundamental change in the role of network theory. Side by side with the increasing relevance of interdisciplinarity, this ensemble of mathematical tools and methods has known such a success and such a wide range of different ...
This paper presents a general class of gossip-based averaging algorithms, which are inspired from Uniform Gossip [1]. While Uniform Gossip works synchronously on complete graphs, weighted gossip algorithms allow asynchronous rounds and converge on any conn ...
Given a geometric hypergraph (or a range-space) H=(V,E), a coloring of its vertices is said to be conflict-free if for every hyperedge S∈E there is at least one vertex in S whose color is distinct from the colors of all other vertices i ...
Tuning tools attempt to configure a database to achieve optimal performance for a given workload. Selecting an optimal set of physical structures is computationally hard since it involves searching a vast space of possible configurations. Commercial DBMSs ...
Only recently Goyal, Olver and Shepherd (Proc. STOC, 2008) proved that the symmetric Virtual Private Network Design (sVPN) problem has the tree routing property, namely, that there always exists an optimal solution to the problem whose support is a tree. C ...
