A phase transition is taking place today. The amount of data generated by genome resequencing technologies is so large that in some cases it is now less expensive to repeat the exp...
We present an exactly solvable random-subcube model inspired by the structure of hard constraint satisfaction and optimization problems. Our model reproduces the structure of the s...
Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...

A novel native stochastic local search algorithm for solving k-term DNF problems is presented. It is evaluated on hard k-term DNF problems that lie on the phase transition and com...
One of the fundamental problems in distributed computing is how to efficiently perform routing in a faulty network in which each link fails with some probability. This paper inves...
