On the submodularity of influence in social networks
We prove and extend a conjecture of Kempe, Kleinberg, and Tardos (KKT) on the spread of influence in social networks. A social network can be represented by a directed graph where...

On Disguised Double Horn Functions and Extensions
We consider Boolean functions represented by decision lists, and study their relationships to other classes of Boolean functions. It turns out that the elementary class of 1-decis...

Shape preserving histogram approximation
We present a new method for reconstructing the density function underlying a given histogram. First we analyze the univariate case taking the approximating function in a class of q...

Learning Stochastic Perceptrons Under k-Blocking Distributions
We present a statistical method that PAC learns the class of stochastic perceptrons with arbitrary monotonic activation function and weights wi {-1, 0, +1} when the probability d...

KKL, Kruskal-Katona, and Monotone Nets
We generalize the Kahn-Kalai-Linial (KKL) Theorem to random walks on Cayley and Schreier graphs, making progress on an open problem of Hoory, Linial, and Wigderson. In our general...
