Group mutual exclusion in O(log n) RMR
We present an algorithm to solve the GROUP MUTUAL EXCLUSION problem in the cache-coherent (CC) model. For the same problem in the distributed shared memory (DSM) model, Danek and ...

Non-commutative circuits and the sum-of-squares problem
We initiate a direction for proving lower bounds on the size of non-commutative arithmetic circuits. This direction is based on a connection between lower bounds on the size of no...

The Bayesian Learner is Optimal for Noisy Binary Search (and Pretty Good for Quantum as Well)
We use a Bayesian approach to optimally solve problems in noisy binary search. We deal with two variants: • Each comparison is erroneous with independent probability 1 − p. â€...

Barriers and local minima in energy landscapes of stochastic local search
: A local search algorithm operating on an instance of a Boolean constraint satisfaction problem (in particular, k-SAT) can be viewed as a stochastic process traversing successive ...

An approximation algorithm for sorting by reversals and transpositions
Abstract. Genome rearrangement algorithms are powerful tools to analyze gene orders in molecular evolution. Analysis of genomes evolving by reversals and transpositions leads to a ...
