Cryptographic Boolean functions must be complex to satisfy Shannon's principle of confusion. But the cryptographic viewpoint on complexity is not the same as in circuit compl...
— Complex networks have attracted much attention from various fields of sciences and engineering over the last ten years. To reveal the dynamical mechanism of synchronization in...
Many recommend planning for the worst and hoping for the best. In this paper we devise efficient indulgent consensus algorithms that can tolerate crash failures and arbitrarily lo...

We describe and explore a new perspective on the sample complexity of active learning. In many situations where it was generally believed that active learning does not help, we sh...

We present two sequences of ensembles of non-systematic irregular repeat-accumulate codes which asymptotically (as their block length tends to infinity) achieve capacity on the bi...
