We study the problem of local search on a graph. Given a real-valued black-box function f on the graph's vertices, this is the problem of determining a local minimum of f--a v...
Abstract Given an n-point metric (P,d) and an integer k > 0, we consider the problem of covering P by k balls so as to minimize the sum of the radii of the balls. We present a r...

In this paper we introduce the class of Spread Codes for the use in random network coding. Spread Codes are based on the construction of spreads in finite projective geometry. The ...

This paper addresses the problem of determining the node locations in ad-hoc sensor networks when only connectivity information is available. In previous work, we showed that the ...
