A Polynomial-time Bicriteria Approximation Scheme for Planar Bisection
Given an undirected graph with edge costs and node weights, the minimum
bisection problem asks for a partition of the nodes into two parts of equal
weight such that the sum of edge costs between the parts is minimized. We give
a polynomial time bicriteria approximation scheme for bisection on planar
graphs.
Specifically, let be the total weight of all nodes in a planar graph .
For any constant , our algorithm outputs a bipartition of the
nodes such that each part weighs at most and the total cost
of edges crossing the partition is at most times the total
cost of the optimal bisection. The previously best known approximation for
planar minimum bisection, even with unit node weights, was . Our
algorithm actually solves a more general problem where the input may include a
target weight for the smaller side of the bipartition.Comment: To appear in STOC 201

Optimal Hashing-based Time-Space Trade-offs for Approximate Near Neighbors
[See the paper for the full abstract.]
We show tight upper and lower bounds for time-space trade-offs for the
-Approximate Near Neighbor Search problem. For the -dimensional Euclidean
space and -point datasets, we develop a data structure with space and query time for
every such that: \begin{equation} c^2 \sqrt{\rho_q} +
(c^2 - 1) \sqrt{\rho_u} = \sqrt{2c^2 - 1}. \end{equation}
This is the first data structure that achieves sublinear query time and
near-linear space for every approximation factor , improving upon
[Kapralov, PODS 2015]. The data structure is a culmination of a long line of
work on the problem for all space regimes; it builds on Spherical
Locality-Sensitive Filtering [Becker, Ducas, Gama, Laarhoven, SODA 2016] and
data-dependent hashing [Andoni, Indyk, Nguyen, Razenshteyn, SODA 2014] [Andoni,
Razenshteyn, STOC 2015].
Our matching lower bounds are of two types: conditional and unconditional.
First, we prove tightness of the whole above trade-off in a restricted model of
computation, which captures all known hashing-based approaches. We then show
unconditional cell-probe lower bounds for one and two probes that match the
above trade-off for , improving upon the best known lower bounds
from [Panigrahy, Talwar, Wieder, FOCS 2010]. In particular, this is the first
space lower bound (for any static data structure) for two probes which is not
polynomially smaller than the one-probe bound. To show the result for two
probes, we establish and exploit a connection to locally-decodable codes.Comment: 62 pages, 5 figures; a merger of arXiv:1511.07527 [cs.DS] and
