: Weprove tight bounds on the time needed to solve k-set agreement, a natural generalization of consensus. We analyze this problem in a synchronous, message-passing model where pro...

Since bit and string oblivious transfer and commitment, two primitives of paramount importance in secure two- and multi-party computation, cannot be realized in an unconditionally ...
We examine the relationship between the VCdimension and the number of parameters of a smoothly parametrized function class. We show that the VC-dimension of such a function class ...

Given a graph G, an identifying code D V (G) is a vertex set such that for any two distinct vertices v1, v2 V (G), the sets N[v1] D and N[v2] D are distinct and nonempty (here...
We study words on a finite alphabet avoiding a finite collection of patterns. Given a pattern p in which every letter that occurs in p occurs at least twice, we show that the nu...
