Lower Bounds for Distributed Coin-Flipping and Randomized Consensus
We examine a class of collective coin- ipping games that arises from randomized distributed algorithms with halting failures. In these games, a sequence of local coin ips is gener...

General Lower Bounds for the Running Time of Evolutionary Algorithms
Abstract. We present a new method for proving lower bounds in evolutionary computation based on fitness-level arguments and an additional condition on transition probabilities bet...

An Inequality for Nearly Log-Concave Distributions with Applications to Learning
Abstract— We prove that given a nearly log-concave distribution, in any partition of the space to two well separated sets, the measure of the points that do not belong to these s...
