An Inequality for Nearly Log-Concave Distributions with Applications to Learning
Abstract— We prove that given a nearly log-concave distribution, in any partition of the space to two well separated sets, the measure of the points that do not belong to these s...

Almost Optimum Secret Sharing Schemes Secure Against Cheating for Arbitrary Secret Distribution
We consider the problem of cheating in secret sharing schemes, cheating in which individuals submit forged shares in the secret reconstruction phase in an effort to make another pa...

Self-improving algorithms for delaunay triangulations
We study the problem of two-dimensional Delaunay triangulation in the self-improving algorithms model [1]. We assume that the n points of the input each come from an independent, ...

Approximate Model Checking of PCTL Involving Unbounded Path Properties
Abstract. We study the problem of applying statistical methods for approximate model checking of probabilistic systems against properties encoded as PCTL formulas. Such approximate...

Time-synchronization in mobile sensor networks from difference measurements
We examine distributed time-synchronization in mobile ad-hoc and sensor networks. The problem is to estimate the skews and offsets of clocks of all the nodes with respect to an arb...
