Let K be a polytope in Rn defined by m linear inequalities. We give a new Markov Chain algorithm to draw a nearly uniform sample from K. The underlying Markov Chain is the first t...
We present a (non-standard) probabilistic analysis of dynamic data structures whose sizes are considered as dynamic random walks. The basic operations (insertion, deletion, positi...
This thesis introduces a model of a random walk on a colored undirected graph. Such a graph has a single vertex set and distinct sets of edges, each of which has a color. A par...
Abstract. Recent works have shown the advantage of using Active Learning methods, such as the Query by Committee (QBC) algorithm, to various learning problems. This class of Algori...
RaWMS is a novel lightweight random membership service for ad hoc networks. The service provides each node with a partial uniformly chosen view of network nodes. Such a membership...
