The study of simple stochastic games (SSGs) was initiated by Condon for analyzing the computational power of randomized space-bounded alternating Turing machines. The game is play...
We study three new techniques which will speed up the branch-and-bound algorithm for the MAX-2-SAT problem: The first technique is a new lower bound function for the algorithm an...
We establish, for the first time, an explicit and simple lower bound on the nonlinearity Nf of a Boolean function f of n variables satisfying the avalanche criterion of degree p, ...
Let P(n) denote the largest prime divisor of n, and let (x, y) be the number of integers n x with P(n) y. In this paper we present improvements to Bernstein's algorithm, whi...
In the interference scheduling problem, one is given a set of n communication requests described by sourcedestination pairs of nodes from a metric space. The nodes correspond to d...
