— We present a new representation for individuals in problems that have cyclic permutations as solutions. To demonstrate its usefulness, we analyze a simple randomized local sear...
—A simple averaging argument shows that given a randomized algorithm A and a function f such that for every input x, Pr[A(x) = f(x)] ≥ 1−ρ (where the probability is over the...
Abstract. We give a high-level description of some fundamental randomized and deterministic techniques for routing and sorting on xedconnection networks such as meshes, hypercubes ...
— We consider the problem of broadcasting a live stream of data in an unstructured network. Broadcasting has been studied extensively for networks with capacity constraints at th...
— We develop distributed scheduling schemes that are based on simple random access algorithms and that have no message passing. In spite of their simplicity, these schemes are sh...
