The k-means algorithm is the method of choice for clustering large-scale data sets and it performs exceedingly well in practice. Most of the theoretical work is restricted to the c...
The AND problem on t bits is a promise decision problem where either at most one bit of the input is set to 1 (NO instance) or all t bits are set to 1 (YES instance). In this note...
Abstract. To establish lower bounds on the amount of replication, there is a common partition argument used to construct indistinguishable executions such that one violates some pr...
A network is k-connected if it remains connected after the removal of any k - 1 of its nodes. Assume that n sensors, modeled here as (omni)directional antennas, are dropped random...
In the online bidding problem, a bidder is trying to guess a positive number T, by placing bids until the value of the bid is at least T. The bidder is charged with the sum of the...
