We resolve in the a rmative a question of Boppana and Bui: whether simulated annealing can, with high probability and in polynomial time, nd the optimal bisection of a random grap...
Abstract. We analyze a model of fault-tolerant systems in a probabilistic setting. The model has been introduced under the name of “sabotage games”. A reachability problem over...

In constrained clustering it is common to model the pairwise constraints as edges on the graph of observations. Using results from graph theory, we analyze such constraint graphs ...
We initiate a general study of pseudo-random implementations of huge random objects, and apply it to a few areas in which random objects occur naturally. For example, a random obj...
We propose a scheme to introduce directionality in the Random Walker algorithm for image segmentation. In particular, we extend the optimization framework of this algorithm to com...
