A Lower Bound on Wait-Free Counting
A counting protocol (mod m) consists of shared memory bits - referred to as the counter - and of a procedure for incrementing the counter value by 1 (mod m). The procedure may be ...

Lower Bounds and Hardness Amplification for Learning Shallow Monotone Formulas
Much work has been done on learning various classes of "simple" monotone functions under the uniform distribution. In this paper we give the first unconditional lower bo...

Automated compositional Markov chain generation for a plain-old telephone system
Obtaining performance models, like Markov chains and queueing networks, for systems of significant complexity and magnitude is a difficult task that is usually tackled using human...

The asymmetric sinistral/dextral Markov-Dubins problem
Abstract-- We consider a variation of the classical MarkovDubins problem dealing with curvature-constrained, shortest paths in the plane with prescribed initial and terminal positi...

Low-state fairness: lower bounds and practical enforcement
— Providing approximate max-min fair bandwidth allocation among flows within a network or at a single router has been an important research problem. In this paper, we study the ...
