Separator Based Parallel Divide and Conquer in Computational Geometry
An O(log n) time, n processor randomized algorithm for computing the k-nearest neighbor graph of n points in d dimensions, for fixed d and k is presented. The method is based on t...

Partial Order Reduction for Probabilistic Systems: A Revision for Distributed Schedulers
Abstract. The technique of partial order reduction (POR) for probabilistic model checking prunes the state space of the model so that a maximizing scheduler and a minimizing one pe...

Improved Approximation of Linear Threshold Functions
We prove two main results on how arbitrary linear threshold functions f(x) = sign(w · x − θ) over the n-dimensional Boolean hypercube can be approximated by simple threshold f...
