We study the communication complexity of rumor spreading in the random phone-call model. Suppose n players communicate in parallel rounds, where in each round every player calls a...
Background: The number of k-words shared between two sequences is a simple and effcient alignment-free sequence comparison method. This statistic, D2, has been used for the cluste...
Random walk graph and Markov chain based models are used heavily in many data and system analysis domains, including web, bioinformatics, and queuing. These models enable the desc...
Limit theorems (including a Berry-Esseen bound) are derived for the number of comparisons taken by the Boyer-Moore algorithm for finding the occurrences of a given pattern in a ra...
We prove that approximating the Max Acyclic Subgraph problem within a factor better than 1/2 is Unique-Games hard. Specifically, for every constant ε > 0 the following holds:...
