Fast distributed random walks
Performing random walks in networks is a fundamental primitive that has found applications in many areas of computer science, including distributed computing. In this paper, we fo...

Randomized Quicksort and the Entropy of the Random Source
Abstract. The worst-case complexity of an implementation of Quicksort depends on the random number generator that is used to select the pivot elements. In this paper we estimate th...

Bounds for the generalized repetition threshold
The notion of repetition threshold, which is the object of Dejean’s conjecture (1972), was generalized by Ilie, Ochem, and Shallit in 2005, to include the lengths of the avoided ...

Round Robin Is Optimal for Fault-Tolerant Broadcasting on Wireless Networks
We study the completion time of broadcast operations on static ad hoc wireless networks in presence of unpredictable and dynamical faults. Concerning oblivious fault-tolerant dist...

Resolution Proofs, Exponential Bounds, and Kolmogorov Complexity
We prove an exponential lower bound for the length of any resolution proof for the same set of clauses as the one used by Urquhart [13]. Our contribution is a significant simpli...
