On Quadratic Threshold CSPs
A predicate P : {−1, 1}k → {0, 1} can be associated with a constraint satisfaction problem Max CSP(P). P is called “approximation resistant” if Max CSP(P) cannot be approxi...

Stochastic optimization based on the Laplace transform order with applications to precoder designs
Stochastic optimization arising from precoding in a multi-antenna fading channel with channel mean feedback to maximize data rates is important but challenging. The use of relayin...

On sums of independent random variables with unbounded variance, and estimating the average degree in a graph
We prove the following inequality: for every positive integer n and every collection X1, . . . , Xn of nonnegative independent random variables that each has expectation 1, the pr...
