We describe a new approach for the problem of finding rigid matrices, as posed by Valiant [Val77], by connecting it to the, seemingly unrelated, problem of proving lower bounds f...
We show that in the worst case, (ndd=2e;1 +n logn) sidedness queries are required to determine whether the convex hull of n points in IRd is simplicial, or to determine the number ...
Abstract. We describe a way to improve the performance of MDP planners by modifying them to use lower and upper bounds to eliminate non-optimal actions during their search. First, ...
Gossiping is an information dissemination process in which each processor has a distinct item of information and has to collect all the items possessed by the other processors. In...
We derive bounds on the expected loss for authentication protocols in channels which are constrained due to noisy
conditions and communication costs. This is motivated by a
numbe...
