How Much Backtracking Does It Take to Color Random Graphs? Rigorous Results on Heavy Tails
Many backtracking algorithms exhibit heavy-tailed distributions, in which their running time is often much longer than their median. We analyze the behavior of two natural variant...

BackRank: an alternative for PageRank?
This paper proposes to extend a previous work, The Effect of the Back Button in a Random Walk: Application for PageRank [5]. We introduce an enhanced version of the PageRank algor...

ScrewBox: a Randomized Certifying Graph-Non-Isomorphism Algorithm
We present a novel randomized approach to the graph isomorphism problem. Our algorithm aims at solving difficult instances by producing randomized certificates for non-isomorphis...

Measuring the mixing time of social graphs
Social networks provide interesting algorithmic properties that can be used to bootstrap the security of distributed systems. For example, it is widely believed that social networ...

Simulating heavy tailed processes using delayed hazard rate twisting
Consider the problem of estimating the small probability that the maximum of a random walk exceeds a large threshold, when the process has a negative drift and the underlying rand...
