In this work, we consider the problems of testing whether a distribution over {0, 1}n is k-wise (resp. ( , k)-wise) independent using samples drawn from that distribution. For the...

We study the maximum edge-disjoint paths problem in undirected planar graphs: given a graph G and node pairs s1t1, s2t2, . . ., sktk, the goal is to maximize the number of pairs t...

One of the major tasks of evolutionary biology is the reconstruction of phylogenetic trees from molecular data. The evolutionary model is given by a Markov chain on the true evolu...
The Collect problem for an asynchronous shared-memory system has the objective for the processors to learn all values of a collection of shared registers, while minimizing the tot...

We prove an (lg n) cell-probe lower bound on maintaining connectivity in dynamic graphs, as well as a more general trade-off between updates and queries. Our bound holds even if t...
