We determine the communication complexity of the common voting rules. The rules (sorted by their communication complexity from low to high) are plurality, plurality with runoff, ...
Abstract. We consider the problem of finding shortest paths in a graph with independent randomly distributed edge lengths. Our goal is to maximize the probability that the path len...

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 highlight intriguing analogies between the diameter of a polytope and the largest possible total curvature of the associated central path. We prove continuous analogues of the ...
—A bus oriented network where there is a charge for the amount of divisible load processed on each processor is investigated. A cost optimal processor sequencing result is found ...
