Compilation Complexity of Common Voting Rules
In computational social choice, one important problem is to take the votes of a subelectorate (subset of the voters), and summarize them using a small number of bits. This needs t...

Of Choices, Failures and Asynchrony: The Many Faces of Set Agreement
Abstract. Set agreement is a fundamental problem in distributed computing in which processes collectively choose a small subset of values from a larger set of proposals. The imposs...

Communication complexity of document exchange
We address the problem of minimizing the communication involved in the exchange of similar documents. We consider two users, A and B, who hold documents x and y respectively. Neit...

A Frame Construction and a Universal Distortion Bound for Sparse Representations
Abstract-- We consider approximations of signals by the elements of a frame in a complex vector space of dimension N and formulate both the noiseless and the noisy sparse represent...

What Is the Use of Collision Detection (in Wireless Networks)?
We show that the asymptotic gain in the time complexity when using collision detection depends heavily on the task by investigating three prominent problems for wireless networks,...
