Constructive Proofs of Concentration Bounds
We give a simple combinatorial proof of the Chernoff-Hoeffding concentration bound [Che52, Hoe63], which says that the sum of independent {0, 1}-valued random variables is highly ...

Constructions of Representations of Rank Two Semisimple Lie Algebras with Distributive Lattices
We associate one or two posets (which we call "semistandard posets") to any given irreducible representation of a rank two semisimple Lie algebra over C. Elsewhere we ha...

Connectivity-Based Localization of Large Scale Sensor Networks with Complex Shape
—We study the problem of localizing a large sensor network having a complex shape, possibly with holes. A major challenge with respect to such networks is to figure out the corr...

Planar minimally rigid graphs and pseudo-triangulations
Pointed pseudo-triangulations are planar minimally rigid graphs embedded in the plane with pointed vertices (adjacent to an angle larger than π). In this paper we prove that the ...

Better extractors for better codes?
We present an explicit construction of codes that can be list decoded from a fraction (1 - ) of errors in sub-exponential time and which have rate / logO(1) (1/). This comes close...
