The size of the Pareto curve for the bicriteria version of the knapsack problem is polynomial on average. This has been shown for various random input distributions. We experimenta...
Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) are widely used in stochastic optimization. Impressive experimental results have been reported in the literature. However, little work ...
In this paper, we study distributed channel assignment in wireless networks with applications to peer discovery in ad hoc wireless networks. We model channel assignment as a color...
Given a graph with edges colored Red and Blue, we wish to sample and approximately count the number of perfect matchings with exactly k Red edges. We study a Markov chain on the sp...

Splay trees are self-organizing binary search trees that were introduced by Sleator and Tarjan [12]. In this paper we present a randomized variant of these trees. The new algorith...
