Impatient Backoff Algorithm: Fairness in a Distributed Ad-Hoc MAC
— Many distributed multiple access (MAC) protocols use an exponential backoff mechanism. In that mechanism, a node picks a random backoff time uniformly in an interval that doubl...

A Quantum Time-Space Lower Bound for the Counting Hierarchy
We obtain the first nontrivial time-space lower bound for quantum algorithms solving problems related to satisfiability. Our bound applies to MajSAT and MajMajSAT, which are compl...

Optimal Communication Complexity of Generic Multicast Key Distribution
We prove a tight lower bound for generic protocols for secure multicast key distribution where the messages sent by the group manager for rekeying the group are obtained by arbitra...

Lower Bounds for Oblivious Transfer Reductions
We prove the first general and non-trivial lower bound for the number of times a 1-out-of-n Oblivious Transfer of strings of length should be invoked so as to obtain, by an inform...

Adaptive randomized algorithm for finding eigenvector of stochastic matrix with application to PageRank
Abstract-- The problem of finding the eigenvector corresponding to the largest eigenvalue of a stochastic matrix has numerous applications in ranking search results, multi-agent co...
