A New Upper Bound for a Binary Additive Noisy Multiple Access Channel with Feedback
— We use the idea of dependence balance [1] to obtain the first improvement over the cut-set bound for the discrete memoryless multiple access channel with noiseless feedback (M...

Covering a hypergraph of subgraphs
Let G be a tree and let H be a collection of subgraphs of G, each having at most d connected components. Let (H) denote the maximum number of members of H no two of which share a ...

Analysis of Approximation Algorithms for k-Set Cover Using Factor-Revealing Linear Programs
We present new combinatorial approximation algorithms for k-set cover. Previous approaches are based on extending the greedy algorithm by efficiently handling small sets. The new a...

Tight Bounds for the Cover Time of Multiple Random Walks
We study the cover time of multiple random walks. Given a graph G of n vertices, assume that k independent random walks start from the same vertex. The parameter of interest is the...
