A modification of the standard Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm is presented for finding the global minimum of a continuous multidimensional, multimodal function. We report resu...
A new stochastic method for locating the global minimum of a multidimensional function inside a rectangular hyperbox is presented. A sampling technique is employed that makes use ...
We present a new polynomial-time randomized algorithm for discovering affine equalities involving variables in a program. The key idea of the algorithm is to execute a code fragme...
We study communication complexity of consensus in synchronous message-passing systems with processes prone to crashes. The goal in the consensus problem is to have all the nonfaul...
