The language compression problem asks for succinct descriptions of the strings in a language A such that the strings can be efficiently recovered from their description when given...
The Common Reference String (CRS) model equips all protocol participants with a common string that is sampled from a pre-specified distribution, say the uniform distribution. Thi...
We analyze the weighted height of random tries built from independent strings of i.i.d. symbols on the finite alphabet {1, . . . , d}. The edges receive random weights whose distr...
—This paper provides a power-margin-based measure of the quality of computer-generated random variates having a distribution that derives from the multivariate Gaussian distribut...
A number of biological applications require comparison of large genome strings. Current techniques suffer from both disk I/O and computational cost because of extensive memory req...
