We characterize all limit laws of the quicksort type random variables defined recursively by Xn d = XIn + X n-1-In + Tn when the "toll function" Tn varies and satisfies ...
We present a low-cost, decentralized algorithm for ID management in distributed hash tables (DHTs) managed by a dynamic set of hosts. Each host is assigned an ID in the unit inter...
Abstract. The distributed complexity of computing a maximal independent set in a graph is of both practical and theoretical importance. While there exists an elegant O(log n) time ...

We study the use of low-density generator matrix (LDGM) codes for lossy compression of the Bernoulli symmetric source. First, we establish rigorous upper bounds on the average dist...

Random binary matrices have found many applications in signal processing and coding. Rateless codes, for example, are based on the random generation of codewords by means of inner...
