Using Histograms to Better Answer Queries to Probabilistic Logic Programs
Probabilistic logic programs (PLPs) define a set of probability distribution functions (PDFs) over the set of all Herbrand interpretations of the underlying logical language. When...

Combinatorics of Periods in Strings
We consider the set Gn of all period sets of strings of length n over a finite alphabet. We show that there is redundancy in period sets and introduce the notion of an irreducibl...

Byzantine-Resilient Convergence in Oblivious Robot Networks
Given a set of robots with arbitrary initial location and no agreement on a global coordinate system, convergence requires that all robots asymptotically approach the exact same, ...

Manipulating MDD Relaxations for Combinatorial Optimization
Abstract. We study the application of limited-width MDDs (multivalued decision diagrams) as discrete relaxations for combinatorial optimization problems. These relaxations are used...

The shifting sands algorithm
We resolve the problem of small-space approximate selection in random-order streams. Specifically, we present an algorithm that reads the n elements of a set in random order and ...
