We prove that the union complexity of a set of n constantcomplexity locally fat objects (which can be curved and/or non-convex) in the plane is O(λt+2(n) log n), where t is the m...
We consider the problem of extracting randomness from sources that are efficiently samplable, in the sense that each output bit of the sampler only depends on some small number d ...
Discrete event network simulators have emerged as popular tools for verification and performance evaluation for various wireless networks. Nevertheless, the desire to model such ...

The problem of finding a local minimum of a black-box function is central for understanding local search as well as quantum adiabatic algorithms. For functions on the Boolean hype...
We present a simple algorithm for the maximum spanning star forest problem. We take advantage of the fact that the problem is a special case of complementary set cover and we adapt...
