Random Bichromatic Matchings
Given a graph with edges colored Red and Blue, we wish to sample and approximately count the number of perfect matchings with exactly k Red edges. We study a Markov chain on the sp...

Latency of opportunistic forwarding in finite regular wireless networks
In opportunistic forwarding, a node randomly relays packets to one of its neighbors based on local information, without the knowledge of global topology. Each intermediate node co...

Langevin and hessian with fisher approximation stochastic sampling for parameter estimation of structured covariance
We have studied two efficient sampling methods, Langevin and Hessian adapted Metropolis Hastings (MH), applied to a parameter estimation problem of the mathematical model (Lorent...

Effectiveness of Query Types and Policies for Preference Elicitation in Combinatorial Auctions
Combinatorial auctions, where agents can bid on bundles of items (resources, tasks, etc.), are desirable because the agents can express complementarity and substitutability among ...

Randomized Approximation Schemes for Scheduling Unrelated Parallel Machines
We consider the problem of Scheduling n Independent Jobs on m Unrelated Parallel Machines, when the number of machines m is xed. We address the standard problem of minimizing the ...
