The Complexity of Decentralized Control of Markov Decision Processes
We consider decentralized control of Markov decision processes and give complexity bounds on the worst-case running time for algorithms that find optimal solutions. Generalization...

The average-case complexity of counting distinct elements
We continue the study of approximating the number of distinct elements in a data stream of length n to within a (1? ) factor. It is known that if the stream may consist of arbitra...

Theory of Rumour Spreading in Complex Social Networks
We introduce a general stochastic model for the spread of rumours, and derive mean-field equations that describe the dynamics of the model on complex social networks (in particula...

Tuning Complex Sensornet Systems Using Principled Engineering Methods
Sensornet lifespan and utility is limited by the energy resources of individual motes. Network designers seek to maximise energy efficiency while maintaining acceptable Quality o...

Communication Complexity and Its Applications
Here we prove an asymptotically optimal lower bound on the information complexity of the k-party disjointness function with the unique intersection promise, an important special ca...
