A Randomized Cutting Plane Method with Probabilistic Geometric Convergence
Abstract. We propose a randomized method for general convex optimization problems; namely, the minimization of a linear function over a convex body. The idea is to generate N rando...

Deterministic parallel random-number generation for dynamic-multithreading platforms
Existing concurrency platforms for dynamic multithreading do not provide repeatable parallel random-number generators. This paper proposes that a mechanism called pedigrees be bui...

Perturbing numerical calculations for statistical analysis of floating-point program (in)stability
Writing reliable software is difficult. It becomes even more difficult when writing scientific software involving floating-point numbers. Computers provide numbers with limite...

Using a Software Testing Technique to Improve Theorem Proving
Most efforts to combine formal methods and software testing go in the direction of exploiting formal methods to solve testing problems, most commonly test case generation. Here we ...
