Sampling from the exponential distribution using independent Bernoulli variates
The exponential distribution is a key distribution in many event-driven Monte-Carlo simulations, where it is used to model the time between random events in the system. This paper...

Random sampling of lattice paths with constraints, via transportation
We investigate Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) procedures for the random sampling of some one-dimensional lattice paths with constraints, for various constraints. We will see that...

Distributed Construction of a Fault-Tolerant Network from a Tree
We present an algorithm by which nodes arranged in a tree, with each node initially knowing only its parent and children, can construct a fault-tolerant communication structure (a...

Optimal Random Matchings on Trees and Applications
In this paper we will consider tight upper- and lower-bounds on the weight of the optimal matching for random point sets distributed among the leaves of a tree, as a function of it...

Deterministic Sampling Algorithms for Network Design
For several NP-hard network design problems, the best known approximation algorithms are remarkably simple randomized algorithms called Sample-Augment algorithms in [11]. The algor...
